The chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Daniil Getmantsev, wrote that he had known Oleg Makarov since 1999, "when I lost my first case in the Economic Court of Kyiv to him with a bang."

"Then, now, and forever, Oleg will remain an example of a professional, lawyer, and political figure for me, who, despite everything, remained an honorable person."— he wrote.
