Former three-division title holder Vasily Lomachenko (16-2, 10 KOs) reacted to
Instagram on another war crime of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, but still continues to remain silent on the topic of a full-scale war of conquest, which Russia unleashed on February 24, 2022.
Today, the second day after
Russian missile attack on a multi-storey building and recreation centers in the resort of Sergeevka, Odessa region (16 km from his house in Belgorod-Dnestrovsky and a few kilometers from his hotel in Zatoka), he posted a video about this war crime, but, as before, he did not comment on anything and did not condemn.
As a result of a strike at one in the morning on July 1 on civilians by three more Soviet X-22 missiles, at least 21 people were killed, about 40 were injured and / or injured. Now, as one American champion wrote, Vasily “saw dead bodies.”
February 24 Vasily posted a picture with a white dove and “praying” hands, painted in the colors of the flags of Ukraine and the Russian Federation. Over four months of the big war, Lomachenko was seen in the photo three times. On February 27, the mayor of his city showed a picture with a boxer in camouflage and stated that Vasily had joined the defense. On May 7, Lomachenko posted a promotional photo of himself with a brand of equipment, and on May 9 appeared in the photo in the APU pixel with his father and son at the local World War II memorial.
The vast majority of comments from Ukrainians to his posts after the total invasion of the Russians, leading the genocide of the Ukrainian people, are negative; Approving leave mostly citizens of the Russian Federation. We warned about such trends back in the fall of 2020.
Lomachenko will leave or stay in Ukraine? Bob wants to know the answer
Meanwhile, after eight years of avoiding talking about the war, Lomachenko’s godfather Oleksandr Usyk has dramatically changed his attitude to the topic. After 02/24/2022 and the family house near Kyiv plundered by Russian invaders, he no longer says that he is “out of politics”, adequately representing his warring homeland at press events.
In addition, the spouse of the Ukrainian heavyweight Ekaterina is extremely active for Ukraine in social networks, who, unlike many boxers, does not hesitate to call a spade a spade. By the way, she said back in April that Lomachenko would not leave Ukraine while the war was going on.
Meanwhile, promising American lightweight Garcia is going to beat Lomachenko. But not right now.
