The U-11 team of Dynamo Kyiv is training tonight. These boys love football and want to play only for their country.
"Football is an emotional game. Emotions are the main thing in it, and if you play and don't enjoy football, then why go out on the field at all?" says young Dynamo player Oleg.
In the morning, Russia shelled his hometown with ballistic missiles. Anxiety and explosions have been a part of these children's lives for more than two years.
"When they started shelling, I was very afraid, but now I'm not afraid because we have already experienced it many times," Dynamo player Serhiy shared his feelings.
Football gives these children and their parents hope and faith in the future.
"When the alert is cancelled, we pack our things and go to training. Here, the children are distracted from the shelling and all the difficult events happening in our country," the mother of one of the players told reporters.
"It is very difficult for us and the children. But there is no other way out, we have been living like this for a long time, and as for training, our children will go to it as long as they have the opportunity. It helps," said the father of one of the Dynamo players.
