Usyk's Detention in Krakow: Ukrainian MFA Reacted Sharply.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine reacted to the information about the detention of Oleksandr Usyk at Krakow airport. According to the MFA spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi, the Consul General of Ukraine in Krakow went to the airport to resolve the situation. Tykhyi emphasized that Ukraine does not accept such treatment of its citizen and champion.

Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha addressed his Polish counterpart, demanding an immediate resolution of the situation. He also instructed the Consul General to express protest and indignation regarding the treatment of the Ukrainian citizen.

People's Deputy and Deputy Head of the Verkhovna Rada Committee Zhan Beleniuk reported Usyk's arrest, publishing a video of the incident on social media. He noted that the circumstances are being clarified, but later said that everything has normalized and Usyk will be released soon. The boxer's wife, Kateryna Usyk, also reassured the public, stating that the situation is not criminal and Oleksandr will explain everything.

It should be noted that Usyk became the first undisputed heavyweight boxing champion of the 21st century. At the moment, Usyk himself does not comment on the situation, while the Polish side provided official information regarding the reasons for the detention.

Earlier it was reported about a tense atmosphere during the meeting between President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky and representatives of Poland and Lithuania. The Polish side was surprised by Zelensky's communication style.
