Former defender of Kyiv’s Dynamo, serviceman Vladislav Vashchuk congratulated his readers on Facebook on Ukraine’s Independence Day.
Vladislav Vashchuk"I have spent half of my life on the football field — in Ukraine and beyond its borders. But wherever I was, I always remained Ukrainian.
I remember how in 1991 we were just learning to pronounce the word “Independence” — with hope for the future. And today we are defending it. Each one — in their own place.
For me, Independence is about family, friends, fans, about comrades, and everyone who holds Ukraine in their heart. It’s about the blue and yellow in the stands in Lisbon, Munich, Paris. About the pride of being Ukrainian, which I felt even thousands of kilometers away from home.
Happy Independence Day, Ukrainians! We are one strong team," wrote the Dynamo player.
