The Ukrainian midfielder of the Polish "Cracovia" Yevhen Konoplyanka spoke about the ongoing war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine.
“Now I only think about the war in Ukraine. I can't focus on anything else. Nothing seems important or noteworthy to me.
The West forgets a little that in Ukraine people are still dying, children are dying, families are dying, soldiers are dying. In the name of the interests of some madman, an entire nation is blown up. I don't have time to watch football because I always read the news about events in my home country. I opened some new news, and found out that twenty more people had died ...
Most of my family is still two hundred kilometers from the war zone. Close, very close, but they had lived there for fifteen years and had no intention of abandoning all their possessions.
At the beginning of the war, I slept four hours a day, I was eaten by constant stress, because my wife called and said that Kyiv was plunging into panic and the sounds of sirens. She had to pick up the children, flee through Uzhgorod and the border with Slovakia. My sister and her one-year-old daughter also came to Poland, but she returned after escaping rockets and death. Great courage, but also patriotism. Ukraine is our land. And war is the worst invention of mankind, a real nightmare,” Konoplyanka said in an interview with the Polish edition of Weszlo.
