Ukrainian striker Denis Vasin, who managed to play in Belarus before the war, told NV about this country.
- "Of course, I didn't like the level of football - the fields, the referees, the standard of living. I came back to the USSR, everything was like in black and white movies, so I returned to that life. I can say that I was depressed there for two or three months. By the way, I played a good 10 matches in Belarus. I had offers from Belarusian teams, but I absolutely did not want to stay there because of the standard of living. They gave me money, and at that time Shakhtar Soligorsk offered very good conditions..." Vasin said.
