Ukrainian defender of Portuguese side Vizela Orest Lebedenko spoke about the current attitude of the Portuguese people towards the war in Ukraine.
"To be honest, people here just live their lives. Yes, my teammates ask me about it. The physical training coach often asks me how the situation is. We have a TV in the massage room, there is always news and they are always talking about Ukraine. The team watches it all and then asks if it's true or not.
And everyone seems to support it. But no one has come up and said that they are ready to help financially or have already done so. Everyone understands everything, everyone knows everything...
But the interest has decreased, not just a little, but a lot. They can ask me something, I will answer, but in a minute they are already talking about something else. For them, it's something distant, not theirs, so it doesn't really bother them," Ukrainian Football quoted Lebedenko as saying.
