Ukrainian goalkeeper of Tajik club "Ravshan" Yevhen Hrytsenko said that he will not go as a member of the team in a friendly tournament in Russia.
"Dear fans of the Ravshan soccer club. I am receiving a lot of messages regarding the question "Why am I not going to Russia?"
I have more than enough reasons why I am not going. The most important one is that every day my country is suffering from Russia. Every day Russia kills my countrymen (children, women, military, elderly, etc). It destroys thousands of houses, sports complexes, hospitals, schools, etc.
I have no desire and moral right to go to the country of terrorists who destroy the lives of millions of Ukrainians.
I am very sorry that there are people who do not understand banal things and think that it is normal to play in such a country", - wrote Hrytsenko on his page on Instagram.
