Mayor Gennady Kernes came to Kharkiv International Marathon with a noticeable bruise under his right eye. Bruising on the mayor’s face can be clearly seen on the selfie, which made Kharkivens on Saturday’s session with the mayor, as informs Kharkiv.Depo (RU).

The press service of the city administration didn’t answer about the reasons of such state of the mayor.

Kernes also posted on his page on Іnstagram a photo with one of the runners who participated in competitions in Kharkiv on April 9th.

The awarding ceremony of winners of the marathon and other races took place on the same day at Freedom Square. They all received trophies, certificates and cash prizes.
