Oleksandr Ishchenko, head of the Dynamo Kyiv Academy, spoke about how they managed to cope with the consequences of the war in the country:
"The events in the country could not pass by the work of the football school. In April last year, the club's management took emergency measures to protect the players. It was decided to help the players travel abroad. This was a general trend at the time.
Thanks to our good relations with the Pushkash Academy and Wisła Kraków, with the active assistance of Munkacs Mukachevo, we took two groups born in 2005 and 2006 to Budapest, and two more groups born in 2007 and 2008 to Kisvárda. In 2010 we went to Sosnowiec, a suburb of Katowice in Poland.
We started working there in May. Conditions were created for the training process. We had good sparring sessions. We reached a good level that allowed us to get out of a difficult situation with minimal losses," Ishchenko said.
