The Ukrainian journalist and presenter Alexei Dephiy caused a wave of indignation and discussion on the network, announcing his decision not to return to Ukraine after a business trip to Brussels.

Irina Gerashchenko expressed a guardian about possible complications of business trips for other journalists and emphasized that most Ukrainian journalists work honestly in favor of Ukraine.
This incident caused a wide discussion in the Ukrainian media community, and Alexei Dirb's actions caused sharp reactions and indignation.
