Aleksandr Aliev: "I would gladly stab Tymoschuk"

Former Dynamo Kyiv and Ukraine national team midfielder Oleksandr Aliyev has said what he thinks about Ukraine's traitor Anatoliy Timoshchuk.

"Tymoshchuk gets money from Gazprom and everything is fine with him. He got Romanian citizenship. Everything. And when he played for the national team of Ukraine, he drew flags on his face. And when it came to the war... In this regard, I immediately supported Voronin, who was also in Russia at that time, but immediately left Moscow for Germany. At the same time, Tymoschuk and Voronin are cousins.

He used to be a symbol of Ukrainian football. Now he is the scum of the Ukrainian people. The man loves money very much. Otherwise he doesn't care. His father went to TRO, and he doesn't care here. This man betrayed his parents, his people and his country, for which he stood. Now the country for him is russia.

Yes, it used to be a symbol of Ukrainian football, but now it's just shit. This surname simply does not exist.

What will he say when the war is over? Nothing. The only excuse they've got is they're scared. So if you're scared, pack your bags and come here. Just like you set an example when you played for the Ukrainian national team, set an example now. Don't even take a machine gun in your hands, but just go back to your country and help our military boys. I think he made a lot of money in Gazprom. So take that money and give it to our army. Buy drones, ammunition, our guys need a lot of things.

Maybe we'll meet him someday. I'd love to stab him. I'm being honest. I think we will. And I wouldn't shake a hand. It's a shame that such a meeting will probably take place somewhere abroad, and then I'll definitely go to jail. But I'd love to stab him. I'm the kind of person who thinks betrayal is the worst thing in the world. I hate traitors. I just hate them! And this man betrayed 40 million people. I am most offended for our women and children," Aliyev said in an interview with journalist Dmitri Gordon.
