The minister called such spending on clothes idiotic and assured that there were no such jackets in his closet.
Health Minister Maxim Stepanov called the information that he has a jacket, the cost of which could be 620 thousand hryvnia, “complete absurdity.”
“I think that it really exists in the sick imagination of politicians. I don’t think any healthy person can be serious about buying clothes for such idiotic money. In terms of its value. Well, she’s just not in my closet. I think this is some kind of complete absurdity, ”Stepanov said in an interview with Radio Liberty.

Earlier, the non-factional people’s deputy Geo Leros at a parliament meeting during the Hour of Questions to the Government asked Stepanova about the jacket.
“When in Ukraine hundreds of Ukrainians die because of COVID-19, you bought yourself a jacket for 620 thousand hryvnia two weeks ago. How is it warm or not?” Leros asked.
In response, Stepanov said that “rudeness is inherent in Leros,” so he is not going to answer his question. At the same time, he urged Leros to refrain from spreading various fakes, including those related to vaccines and the fight against COVID-19, since the lives of “specific people” are behind this.
