People's Deputy Oleh Blokhin has submitted a resignation letter from the position of head coach of the National Football Team of Ukraine. He announced this on Wednesday, March 16, in parliament, reports a correspondent of "proUA". \n \nBlokhin emphasized that he had passed a copy of this letter to the Rules Committee of the Verkhovna Rada. "With pain in my heart I pass the relay baton to the team's leadership, in which is my whole life and my desire to serve the Fatherland," said Blokhin. \n \nHe emphasized that if his professional activity as head coach of the National Football Team is less noble than the activity of some deputies who teach at universities or engage in scientific activity, then "let someone else on a more legal basis take the National Team into their hands." \n \nAs reported earlier, the Rules Committee of the Verkhovna Rada has repeatedly stated that People's Deputy Blokhin is illegally combining two positions, which is prohibited by the Constitution of Ukraine.
