A provocative post by a deputy
People's Deputy of Ukraine Jean Beleniuk published a short but extremely emotional post on social media:
«I'm looking for someone to f**k off,» the MP wrote.
This statement caused a significant resonance among users - many Ukrainians condemned the MP's behaviour, considering it inappropriate for a public figure and a representative of the Verkhovna Rada.
Public reaction
In the comments, users emphasise that such rhetoric undermines the authority of state institutions and does not correspond to the status of a people's deputy.
Some commenters suggested that the message could have been an «emotional joke» or a «bad way to attract attention», but most believed that public officials should adhere to ethical standards even on social media.
Context.
