However, Grigoriy Osovoy, chairman of the Federation of Trade Unions of Ukraine, and Sergey Efimenko, president of the All-Ukrainian Sports Poker Federation, denied the information that the new club intends to accept bets for cash. In addition, Osovoy admitted that obtaining permission to open such a gambling establishment in a prestigious area of ​​Kyiv became possible due to “a change in the political situation.”
