Having been initially elected an independent candidate supported by President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Servant of the People, he joined the party shortly thereafter, before defecting to Smart Politics in 2021 and later Restoration of Ukraine in 2022.

In addition to his 2014 win and 2018 result as a runner-up, he has also participated in sambo, mixed martial arts and boxing championships, receiving recognition from the Ukrainian government for his weight lifting prowess.

[1] Dmytruk ran in the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election as an independent candidate endorsed by Servant of the People in the 133rd electoral district, which encompasses his hometown of Odessa.

He also became a member of the Verkhovna Rada Law Enforcement Committee and the inter-factional associations South Ukraine and For Accelerated European Integration of Ukrainian Business.

[3] The same year, Dmytruk laid flowers in honour of 46 pro-Russian protesters who were killed by a militia in 2014 in Odessa, along with fellow Odesa MP Oleksiy Leonov.

The fight occurred after Dmytruk allegedly forced his way into the City Council building with a group of supporters with the intention of disrupting a meeting regarding the hand-over of a land plot to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.
