Midfielder "Bordeaux" Daniil Ignatenko admitted that he was going through the tragic events in his homeland.
“There is a very bad, terrible situation in Ukraine right now: blood is flowing, adults and children are dying, cities are being bombed. When I read or listen to the news, my heart hurts, I can't stand it anymore. Russia is a country of terrorists. I call on everyone to stop this war.
It's hard for me. Sometimes I manage, sometimes I don't. I'm trying to clear my mind. My father is at war now, he is in the hottest spot in Ukraine. Every day I think, will I be able to talk to him tomorrow?” — quotes Ignatenko Girondins4ever.
