The Shakhtar functionary supported the Ukrainians in the fight against the aggressor.

The sports director of Donetsk Shakhtar Darijo Srna, in an interview with L'Equipe, asked why not leaving Ukraine before the beginning of a full-scale Russian invasion may be two reasons for this.

Horvat noted that this is already the third war in life and added that at this hour it can be shown who the war is.

“Shakhtar is my football homeland Roberto De Zerbi flew to Brighton with his headquarters, but I couldn’t realize that I’m going too. It’s important to show who you are. Shakhtar gave me a lot, and I respect it. I'm guilty of being with him. I suffer because my family lives in London, I have two children at school. It’s not easy to save contact, because there are not so many flights at a time.

My squad understands everything, they love Shakhtar and Ukraine. We lived near Donetsk before the Russians attacked Donbass in 2014, then near Kiev. This is already the third war in my life. Whenever I come anywhere there is war. “It’s possible that I could move to Moscow so that it would be there too,” said the 41-year-old Girniki functionary..

Finally, Srna stated that Ukraine and Ukrainians need to overcome on all fronts in order to achieve their goals.
