The president of the Zhytomyr-based Polesya, Hennadiy Butkevich, recalled the first days of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Gennady Butkevich"In the first days of the full-scale invasion here in this metropolitan settlement, where we are with you, I and my close friends gathered, we were ready to go into battle with weapons.
Sasha Usik, a great athlete, put on his armour and took a machine gun. He did not run away, but stood with weapons next to me, with my business partners, with our guys from security, from the staff.
Of course, it was a terrible shock. The enemy was standing near Kiev. I was generally sure that we were about to enter the battle, personally we are here in Kyiv region, on the other side of Irpen, Bucha, Borodyanka," Butkevych said in an interview withUkrayinska Futbol.
