The press service of Kryvbas issued an official statement after the nighttime shelling of Kryvyi Rih by Russian troops.
"27/08/2024. Another terrorist act of Russia aimed at the civilian population of Kryvyi Rih. Another missile aimed at ordinary people, another wound in the heart of our city...
In these two days, the Russians have attacked our entire country like never before. Hopefully, this is enough to finally realize that the war is not somewhere else... the war is in every corner and affects everyone. There are no more or less "safe" places... the war is in every city, in every house, in every family. But Kryvbas is strong! "Kryvbas is brave! "Kryvbas will defeat any enemy!
We will continue to live, train and play in our hometown. Our families, our friends and acquaintances live here, and the FC Kryvbas Academy, where almost 1000 children train every day, is working. We remain with the people of Kryvyi Rih, with those who have found temporary shelter in our city, with the families of our defenders who are now defending our country, with those whose sons and daughters have given their most precious possessions for our freedom and independence. Eternal glory to our heroes and glory to Ukraine!" reads the statement on Kryvbas' official website.
