Former player of the Ukrainian national hockey team Oleksiy Lazarenko spoke about how he received a shell shock at the front in the war with Russia.

" We managed to fall, reacted. They fell on the grass, bounced off normally like that - and started running in the direction of our command post, because there were trenches. At that time they started firing at us from mortars.. We hid from that too..

But in the evening the plane started, the Hurricane began - and there it flew very close. My partner fell into a trench, I was on top of him - about three meters from me it slammed. I got up and didn’t really understand where I was, what I was - the blood left my nose, my ears. I didn't hear anything in my left ear.. We were covered with earth about half a meter. In principle, without scratches, but with contusions,"

34-year-old Lazarenko is a native of Kharkiv and an ex-player of the Ukrainian national hockey team.. The hockey player managed to play in Ukraine, Russia and Canada. He is a master of sports of international class of Ukraine.
