34-year-old central defender Oleksiy Dityatyev, who returned to Ukraine and signed a contract with "Lviv", spoke about the attitude towards the citizens of a small country called "Russia" in Kazakhstan, where he played for "Aksa".
"I have not met Russians who support Putin in Kazakhstan. Fortunately for them. When Russians are abroad, they are very quiet there.
Because in Kazakhstan there are many young guys who go around and just drink Russians on the street. They ask whose Kazakhstan and whose Crimea, and just drink. This is true, no joke. If a Russian was caught who would say that Crimea is Russia, he would be "dragged away". There have already been such situations," Dityatieva quotes "Ukrainian football".
