- Probably my favourite defender is Sergio Ramos, and at the moment I really like the way Van Dijk and Ruben Dias are playing. I look up to these defenders, but Ilya Zabarny is also a good example for me.
- Did Shovkovskyi, who replaced Lucescu, make any changes during the training process? Different requirements, tactical instructions, in general, how did Lucescu's training process differ from Sašo's?
- No, the process did not change, because the mister was always in touch and came to training whenever possible, although he was absent from matches.
- Recently, Dynamo has had a good tendency to sell defenders to the Premier League. Which championship do you follow? Do you have any goals to play abroad in the future?
- I follow the Premier League, the Bundesliga and Serie A very closely. If it were up to me which club to join, I would probably choose Manchester City, Arsenal or Bayern Munich with Borussia Dortmund. I am also very impressed with Milan.
- Who was the most difficult opponent for you to play against, perhaps someone in particular?
- Probably the hardest was against Artem Dovbyk, he is a very good player, playing against him gave me a good experience. At training, it's hard to play against Vanat, and I also remember Nazariy Rusyn.
- Who is the authority in the team as a whole?
- Of course, our captain Serhii Sydorchuk and other more experienced players are the authority in the team. And among the younger ones, it's Shaparenko, Dubinchak and Popov.
- You spent half of the season on loan at Oleksandriya. Could you objectively assess Oleksandriya's chances of overtaking Dynamo last season? Was it possible?
- The decision to fire the coach at Oleksandriya was made by the management, not the players. "Oleksandriya is a very cool team with cool players, which, I am sure, will compete for European competitions next season. We have a very warm relationship with Gura, I am grateful to him.
- You returned to Dynamo during the winter break and immediately became the main defender...
- "Oleksandriya is the club that gave me a lot of experience. The fact is that when I joined Oleksandriya, I was only 18 years old and it was my first experience in adult football. Returning to Dynamo was super unexpected for me.
- You entered the Dynamo system in 2019. Did you have any chances to join any other team then?
- While playing for the Morshyn Academy, I had offers from Shakhtar and Dnipro. But I have always supported Dynamo.
- If you were given the opportunity to choose one Dynamo U-19 player and transfer him to the first team, who would you choose?
- I would single out Krymchanin.
- The match against Ingulets. There was a violation against you in the moment with the goal. Did you feel that the referees were biased towards Dynamo?
- I'm not arguing about these episodes, because there are my mistakes there, and each referee interprets it in his own way. I will try to correct my mistakes.
- Dynamo had a bad season. What would you like to say to people who criticise you?
- I felt the hate like never before, it was both in personal messages and in the comments, but thanks to these people, I develop a thirst to prove that I can do much better. To some extent, I can thank them.
- Do you have any hobbies outside of football?
- My hobbies are fishing and video games, maybe reading a book. Apart from football, I am interested in skiing and boxing.
- Footballers often have their own superstitions before a match. Do you believe in any omens?
- I do have superstitions, but it's a secret, I can only say that I don't play video games the day before the game.
- Recently, Hakim Ziyesh got into a scandal when he travelled to a terrorist country and posed for pictures with their team shirts. Do you have any message for the Moroccan?
- I just want to say, let him go to those cities that the terrorist country, the country of manure, has wiped off the face of the earth and left nothing alive. Let him look into the eyes of the parents who lost their children in this war and tell them to their faces that he supports the aggressor country.
