Former forward of the Ukrainian national team Roman Zozulya commented on his attitude towards those who continue to cooperate with Russia:
- How do the football community treat those who have not severed relations with Russia? Do you condemn people like Anatoly Tymoshchuk?
- Also, his father has been in the Lutsk territorial defense since the first days of a full-scale war. I can't find an answer why this is so.
After 2014, I stopped communicating with football players who play in Russia because the war started and we had different views on it.
I don't know how to comment on Tymoshchuk's act. Only God will punish him for what he did. I spoke with him before, before the war. We were young when we joined the national team, that's how he supported us. There was then a cool captain, a cool guy.
What happened? I do not know. You just need to take the passport from such people. He does not deserve to be called a Ukrainian. All. I don’t know if it’s legally possible to pick up a passport so easily, but it needs to be done. So that never in his life his foot could set foot on our territory.
There are many. If they like it, let them live there. They didn't have long. Not long is left before our victory, and then it will begin: “and I’m quiet”, “and I helped”, “and I’m not for PR”, “and I dressed 10 battalions”. It won't help.
