Yevgeniy Bragar

On February 1, a woman called the studio of one of the TV channels and asked politicians how she could live on a pension of 2 thousand hryvnias with high utility prices.

The studio guest was the scandalous MP from Servant of the People, Yevgeniy Bragar. In response to the pensioner's question, he suggested that she sell her "elite breed" dog and pay for the utilities.This statement caused a wave of outrage among Ukrainians.

The Servant of the People party immediately said that it did not support Bragar's position and apologized for his words. The faction also stressed that their team's task is to raise people's living standards.
