This text is a kind of summary of the idea/initiative we came up with at the beginning of September in the publication “Breaking Free from Pressure for Blenutsé”, the essence of which is to offer Kyiv Dynamo’s newcomer, Romanian forward Vladislav Blenutsé, who then came under an abnormal media attack, to prove his stance towards Ukraine not in words but in deeds, and to transfer his first salary at the Ukrainian club to the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And here is the result.

Following the laws of logic and common sense, as well as the laws of elementary decency, everyone who a month ago jumped at the footballer for his reposts on social networks should now write something about his act. Especially since it’s about an action, not some reposts.
And if there are those who, despite Blenutsé’s deed, intend to continue «bullying» him, while sitting not at the front but on cozy stands of Ukrainian stadiums or at home at their screens of laptops and gadgets, then I have a simple proposal for them too: to back every jab at the footballer with a donation in support of the Armed Forces. And then, perhaps, everything will be at least somewhat fair.
Yes, by the way. I want to remind you that Blenutsé is not Ukrainian. He has no close obligation to our country. He owes us nothing. Absolutely nothing. Yes, he came to play for a Ukrainian club, but he came to play despite the fact that we have a war. Besides respecting our country (I hope there’s no doubt from his side anymore), he owes nothing to anyone here. Yet, he did what he did.
And the main result of this story is that now Blenutsé can fully concentrate on what he was here for — benefiting Dynamo. We expect goals from him!
