Yurii Horbunov has admitted whether he keeps in touch with his godfather Potap after he fled Ukraine

Ukrainian TV presenter Yurii Horbunov admitted that he maintains a relationship with his rapper godfather Oleksii Potapenko (pseudonym Potap), who fled Ukraine at the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion and has returned only once in almost 3 years of the great war. Now the scandalous artist lives in Spain and is building his career there, and he has no plans to return home.

However, for Yurii Horbunov, this is not a reason to cut all ties. In an interview with "Tur zirkamy," he admitted that although Potap has a scandalous reputation, their relationship has not changed.

"Our relationship is the same as it was before. Everyone decides in their own way how to live and what to do. We haven't seen or heard from each other for a long time," the TV presenter briefly explained.

However, he contradicted himself, because almost immediately he said that he was in touch with his godfather: "Not often (we call each other – Ed.), but we do."

It's worth noting that Yurii Horbunov periodically stood up for Potap. In an interview with "Rozmova," he said that everyone reacts to war in their own way, so the artist's escape can be justified.

"If I were him, I would have come earlier, he came later... But I won't blame anyone, including Oleksii, because war is a thing to which everyone reacts in their own way. To blame someone, to say, "Oh, this guy is bad, he didn't go to the front, and this guy is bad because he's abroad"... The main thing is that people should use all possible methods, each on their own front, to bring victory closer," the TV presenter said 2 years ago.
