Shakhtar and Ukraine midfielder Taras Stepanenko has spoken about joint charity work with Dynamo players.
- In 2022, after the war started, I sent a message to the group chat of our national team that I was trying to raise money to help our people. Four Dynamo Kyiv players sent me a message back saying that they had formed a joint group with four Shakhtar Donetsk players to raise money for those in need. Although we play on the pitch for rival clubs, we are united when it comes to helping our country," Taras said, in particular, in an interview with Fіfpro.
