Oleksandr Riabokon, the former head coach of Desna Chernihiv, who has been in the Armed Forces since February last year, told us how his service is going.
- I have been in Kyiv lately. Our battalion was created primarily to defend the capital. Almost all the young guys are at the front. Sometimes we escort some cargo and carry out night patrols. There is enough work, but last year I was busier than I am now.
Last year I hardly watched football. Only some central and big matches. Now I have a bit more time. I had hopes that Desna would come back, so I prepared myself, watched the Premier League matches. At some Kyiv matches, I was even at the stadium..." said Ryabokon.
