Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha considers the measures taken against the champion Oleksandr Usyk "disproportionate and unacceptable" and will send a corresponding note to the Polish side.
He wrote about this on the X social network.
Sybiha emphasized that he was familiar with the details of the incident.
"Our Consul General informed me of the details. We consider such actions disproportionate and unacceptable towards our champion and will send a corresponding note to the Polish side," the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said.
Sybiha noted that he promptly responded to Usyk's detention in Krakow and contributed to his release.
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs added that he coordinated the actions of Ukrainian diplomats while he was on the border of Ukraine and Romania, where he is going on his first foreign visit in his new position.
As it is known, Usyk was going to fly to Spain, where he had to undergo a training session before the fight with Fury. For unknown reasons, they did not want to let Usyk’s friend board the plane. Oleksandr said that he would not fly without him, as a result, both were detained. Then the Ukrainian boxer was released.
Earlier, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the detention of the boxer and stated that the situation has been resolved.
