Strongman Denis Berezhnik went to the competition in the USA and did not return to Ukraine.

This was reported by the Strongman Federation of Ukraine.

On November 5, Berezhnik left for the calendar international competitions in the USA and was supposed to return to Ukraine on November 17, but ended up staying in the United States.

Before that, the athlete signed a statement with information about the dates of departure and arrival in Ukraine. As a result, he violated the law on leaving the country for military service during the war..

"

We, as a patriotic and law-abiding organization, are not going to cover up shameful crimes, so we officially turned to the SBU and the State Border Guard Service to respond and punish Berezhnik.

At a time when most of our athletes are involved in the defense of the country, there are also those who meanly run. But this base act casts a shadow on all the athletes of the federation and may be the reason for refusals to leave athletes for future international starts,"
