Shakhtar defender Serhii Kryvtsov commented on the "level of tension" between Dynamo and Donetsk after the war began.
Sergey Kryvtsov— Rivalry has now dulled, because if such a situation existed in Dynamo, then Shakhtar would do everything to ensure that the club from Kyiv played at Donbas Arena and felt at home. War should unite the people and all the under-the-carpet games should not be at a time like now. Dynamo congratulates Shakhtar in the comments, Shakhtar also congratulates Dynamo. I think there should be mutual respect.
The first 4 years, when you live in the hope that it will end now, and we will return to Donetsk... But then I had two daughters, we started to adjust our life in Kyiv. It is clear that one should live now, and not think about what may or may not be. Kyiv has also become a native city for us. For me personally, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and now Kyiv are my home cities, Kryvtsov said.
