It should be noted that Konoplya went on a hunger strike a few days ago due to poor food and conditions in the psychiatric hospital in Odesa region.

In his social media, Konoplya noted that patients are fed food that looks more like glue, and the walls in the wards are covered with mold.

The Odesa RMA responded promptly to the scandal, and the hospital turned into a sanatorium, at least in terms of food. This was reported, among others, by the hospital's patients themselves. 

Today, Kiper visited the hospital. Konoplya shared his impressions of the meeting with him on his tg channel.

“Today I had a conversation with Oleh Kiper, the head of RSA, the military respect him because he respects the military, he was recommended to me, and it was Mr. Kiper who came today to put an end to the hospital's food supply.

The hospital is switching to catering, a tender will be announced, and the same kind of food will be served as at Vorobyov.

A tender is not a quick thing, it takes 1-1.5 months from this conversation to implementation.

Until the plan is implemented, the hospital will receive supplies from the city's supermarket chains, not only for the military but also for civilians, who are 10 times more numerous here,” he writes.

Konoplya added that at 5 p.m. today he ended his hunger strike.
