Kyivites and Donetsk residents hold charity matches.
Ukrainian coach Yuriy Vernidub, who currently serves in one of the units of the Armed Forces, expressed his dissatisfaction with the departure of Kyiv Dynamo and Donetsk Shakhtar abroad during the war.
“This is not the time when you need to go somewhere and play This is my position. They are all well prepared physically, and it will be possible to prepare well in two weeks. Maybe I'm right, maybe not, but I say what I feel. Why should Dynamo and Shakhtar be there and train? And the rest stayed here.
Let's do it all together, not some stay, some go. I know a lot of players went on the defensive. I have a younger son, he's had arm problems since birth, but he is in defense, helps, volunteers, “said Vernidub.
It will be recalled that the Ukrainian championship remains on pause after the start of Russia's military invasion.
Dynamo and Shakhtar have received a special permit from the Ministry of port so that club players can leave Ukraine during martial law and play charity matches.
