- Firstly, it is very nice to be here. Thank you Andriy Shevchenko, thank you Oleksandr Zinchenko for the invitation. It is very pleasant. Great emotions. I am a Ukrainian today. I have been living in Ukraine for 20 years. This is my country. This is my home today, and Ukrainians are my family. I am proud that I was able to do just a little bit to help Ukrainians on this difficult day.

Andriy Shevchenko invited me two months ago. To play at Stamford Bridge... You know, today I had emotions. There were a lot of fans from Donetsk today. They were shouting: "Shakhtar are champions!" When they were shouting, I was just carried forward. And it turned out that I scored a goal. I am very pleased. Thank you all. It is nice that all these people came to London.

Big day for Ukraine. A big day for the Ukrainian people, for the Ukrainian fighters. Thank you to the president of Ukraine who supported the people. I hope that soon everything will be over and we will be able to play at the Donbass Arena, at the NSC Olimpiyskiy in Kyiv, in Kharkiv and even in Crimea," Srna said.
