A Ukrainian Member of Parliament on the road: Vasyl Virastyuk and his driving career

A minor stir on social media in Ukraine surrounding the surprising activity of Member of Parliament and famous athlete, Vasyl Virastyuk. According to reports from several Telegram channels, Virastyuk operates an active account as a driver on the ride-sharing app BlaBlaCar, where he earns high ratings from passengers.

According to the STERNENKO channel, which is identified with distinct pro-Ukrainian positions, Virastyuk holds a "high rating and many positive reviews," noting the fact that he "never cancels rides." The channel adds in a light tone that the Member of Parliament, sometimes referred to as "the world's strongest man," makes sure to respond with positive reviews to his passengers.

The report was verified and echoed by several additional channels, including Times of Ukraine, Бавовна △, Тарас Григорович повідомляє, and Українські новини. According to Times of Ukraine, the Member of Parliament has already completed "at least 123 rides" using the platform.

The Ху Київ channel also addressed the issue, noting that all 123 reviews received by the Member of Parliament on the app are positive. As of now, this is a report presenting an unusual and lighthearted facet in the life of a public official, without negative political criticism from the sources covering the event.
