“And how did you get rich then?”: Khlyvnyuk and Prytula respond to accusations of draft-dodging
The leader of the band BoomBox and serviceman Andriy Khlyvnyuk responded to renewed online accusations of alleged draft-dodging and profiteering from the war. The musician replied with his characteristic dark humor in a correspondence with volunteer Serhiy Prytula.
This was reported by 24tv.ua.
Recently Khlyvnyuk and Prytula met on business and took a photo together. Later Serhiy sent the picture to Andriy, joking that together they looked like “gray-bearded but handsome old men.”
Prytula also told his friend about another wave of rumors on Threads. One blogger accused them of draft-dodging and enriching themselves from the war.
“Okay, fine, me — but how did you get rich? And why are you a draft-dodger?” Prytula reacted indignantly to those accusations.
The volunteer himself has repeatedly faced waves of hate and has publicly explained the baselessness of the accusations, notably after the episode involving the purchase of a satellite for Ukrainian intelligence.
Khlyvnyuk, for his part, treated the situation with irony and dark humor. The musician drew attention to the absurdity of some online comments, noting that for some haters the only proof of genuine service seems to be the worst possible scenario.
