Famous Ukrainian coach Oleksandr Babych spoke about the traitor to Ukraine, Anatoliy Tymoshchuk, who continues to work in Russia.
Alexander Babich"I can't make an assessment because I'm not really familiar with Anatoliy. Of course, there are examples of our players who were on the coaching staffs [of Russian clubs], but left when the full-scale war started. I do not support his decision to stay there. It's his choice and he has to live with it, but I would like to hear him out.
Will this man ever be forgiven in Ukraine? I doubt it. He was a leader and a legend of the Ukrainian national team, he wore the captain's armband. They will forget about him, that he was such a footballer, in 200 years, but in our time they will not forgive him. And they will be right.
No one from Russia called me after 24 February. There was nothing like that. No one called, although I have relatives there. But we haven't spoken for a long time. I have my own opinion and I believe that our Ukraine will survive and we will be happy," Babych said in an interview withUkrainian Football.
