Anatoly Trubin admitted that he did not expect anything like this from the Russians.
Goalkeeper of Donetsk “Shakhtar” and the national team of Ukraine Anatoliy Trubin shared his thoughts on Russia's military invasion.
“We didn't think it could really happen. Nobody expected Russia to be so barbaric and cruel. It's really a nightmare. I don't understand how they react to it. They destroyed so many beautiful cities and killed so many civilians. It's a disaster.
We just considered Russia a neighbor until 2014. The two countries had no bad feelings for each other. The war will start first in Donetsk and then all over Ukraine.
But Russia no longer exists for me as a country. I think the wounds will heal for a long time.
Mariupol is my second hometown. As a child, we trained there a lot, played, and went there with my family to the sea, “Trubina was quoted as saying by Tribuna.com with reference to Goal.com.
The footballer also spoke about members of his family. Her girls from Mariupol, and her whole family lived there. Fortunately, they managed to get out of here.
I was able to bring my mother and sister back only when I joined Shakhtar's main team three years ago.
But my father, grandmother, uncle and aunt are still in Donetsk. They are relatively safe, despite serious problems with water supply and electricity. “
