Ex-defender of Dynamo Kyiv Taras Mikhalik told why in 2014 he did not leave Lokomotiv Moscow, despite the outbreak of Russia's war against Ukraine.
— A long-term contract has already been signed. It was possible to terminate it, but it was a very large amount, unbearable for me. I talked with the guys from the Army, they say: “Stop, what’s stopping you from earning money there and helping here?” Whatever I could, I helped them. With those with whom I spoke, there were no problems. But many did not know about it, so there were moments... - said Mihalik on the air of Sport Arena TV.
Recall that the Dynamo player played in the Moscow team from 2013 to 2019.
