Yuriy Boyko, one of the former leaders of the pro-Russian OPPL party, is still a Hero of Ukraine. The petition to deprive him of such a title gained the required number of votes. However, analysts note that the current prime minister had no reason to take this title from Medvedchuk's former ally.
The initiative to deprive a pro-Russian people's deputy of the title of Hero of Ukraine not so long ago gained the required number of votes – that is, 27 thousand. Then the Office of the President turned to Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal to analyze, based on what, such an honorary award could be taken away from Boyko.

It is known that the president addressed the head of government on December 9, 2022 on this issue. Shmygal, obviously, carefully analyzed “the existence of reasonable grounds for applying personal restrictive measures against Boyk”, but found nothing.
By the way, this became known thanks to the Chestno movement, which fights corruption in our state . Actually, its representatives sent an appeal to the OP. In response, they received explanations why Boyko would be a Hero of Ukraine.

Pay attention! The title of Hero of Boyk was awarded back in 2004 by the then President Leonid Kuchma. In those years, the pro-Russian politician headed NAK Naftogaz. During his tenure, he “negotiated” gas debts to Russia and Turkmenistan. Lieutenant of the Armed Forces Andriy Gaidai filed for the immediate deprivation of Yuriy Boyk of the title of Hero of Ukraine.
