After playing only 5 matches, in 2004 along with [[Serhiy Zakarlyuka]] and [[Oleksandr Zotov]] he was expelled from the camp of the national team with a scandal for violating the regime due tardiness.<ref>[https://www.caravan.kz/sport/v-sbornojj-ukrainy-ocherednye-poteri-111827/ В Сборной Украины очередные потери]. www.caravan.kz. 17 November 2004</ref><ref>[http://footclub.com.ua/news/Ukraina/Prochie/815854583/Pem-gulyaem-vystupaem Пьем, гуляем, выступаем]. footclub.com.ua. 20 July 2013</ref><ref name=fanday>[https://fanday.net/news/zvezdy-pyanye-smotryat-vniz-kogo-artem-milevskii-dolzhen-priglasit-na-svoi-proshalnyi-match Звезды пьяные смотрят вниз.
