«I no longer have a home, there is no opportunity to come to Mariupol or Berdyansk and recall warm memories from childhood. Unfortunately, these are the realities. I hope that the war will end soon, I pray and help our military in any way I can: financially, morally, auctions with T-shirts. Because they are true heroes. I am grateful for that.

I talked about this at the beginning of the war, that my brother was wounded near Volnovakha, he was undergoing rehabilitation. And in Mariupol during the fighting for the city, the Russians killed my father's friend — Viktor Hryhorovych Tkachenko, who, as a volunteer, did a lot of good deeds in that difficult time. I consider him a true Hero of Ukraine!», — said Putria in an interview with the publication «Ukrainian Football».
