- After so many days abroad, how nice is it to be back home?
- It's great to see our home fans and to come back to Kyiv. We missed them, and today we had very pleasant emotions. I hope that after the matches for the national team, two or three thousand fans will come again and we will see them.
- Oleksandr Shovkovskyi said that only 10 players remain in the team, the rest are leaving for different national teams. What are your expectations from the national team's matches against Albania and the Czech Republic, have you already switched to them or are you still thinking about Dynamo?
- The game against LNZ is over, and I am already on my way to the national team's location. We have difficult matches ahead, we need two wins. It will be a good result, and we will train to achieve it.
- You played in the qualifiers for Euro 2024, in the final tournament. You're going to participate in the League of Nations. What are your expectations?
- All our future opponents were participants in Euro 2024, they have a high level. We need to give our best, as we play for our country, for our defenders, so there is always motivation to show good football and strive for victory.
- Rubchynskyi made his debut today. How did the team support him?
- He did well, he played well, it was comfortable to work with him in the center of the field. Everyone supported him, especially Vanat and I, and I also saw Yarmolenko giving him some suggestions. It's good that the team won, everyone did well.
- Last season, the home match with LNZ ended in a 1-1 draw. Did you expect something similar to happen this time?
- We expected a difficult game. Indeed, last season we drew 1-1 at home, and we didn't realize many chances then either. So we wanted to pay them back for that result.
