Ukrainian boxer was surprised by the behavior of the star of Russian boxing.
Ukrainian heavyweight boxer Vladislav Sirenko (19–0, 16 KO) told how he discussed the Russian military aggression with his Russian counterpart Alexander Povetkin.
“You know, I didn't even imagine that he could do just that, because several days after February 24, he even called me himself.
I spoke to him in person on the phone and told him what was happening, what crimes were being committed, that this was not a “special operation.” He said: “Yes, I am very sorry that this is happening.” “You know, I didn't have any more words. I took a lot of pictures. They're supposed to leave an imprint, but it doesn't work. 'Horror, sorry.' – Sirenko said in an interview ” XSPORT “.
The Ukrainian athlete noted that Russia is no more for him:
” I am very sorry for these people, how brainwashed they are. That they do not even understand these realities that are happening. For me, this whole nation, this whole culture died at one point. “
