Edmure— You headed Metalist 1925 at the height of the season. Weren't you afraid to return to a country in which there is a war?

My Ukrainian friends know very well how much I love Ukraine and how grateful I am to it for what I have become in the end. I have been here since 2002. He married here, children were born here, his career passed here.
