The head coach of "Zarya" Yuri Vernidub commented on the situation with the video "Glory to Ukraine", which arose during the World Cup-2018.
So, Vernadub supported representatives of the Croatian national team Domagoy Vidu and Ognena Vukojevic.
"I want to say that these guys are just super and big fellows for supporting our country. For the words "Glory to Ukraine!" Very strongly burned out in our recent "brothers-Russians".
This is a catastrophe! Why "Viva la France!" Or "Forward, Russia" is normal, and "Glory to Ukraine" is a nationalist slogan? What morons do you have to be to say such things. To that here to be surprised? Propaganda and politics - this is what our "brothers" are doing.
I do not see anything terrible in the words: "Glory to Ukraine". Just do not see! How can this be compared with the nationalist slogan? In our multimillion-dollar country, almost everyone says hello. And I sometimes say:
"Glory to Ukraine" or answer "Forever glory!". What's wrong with it if I love my country where I was born and live? Do I hate her? A difficult situation for understanding, which occurred with Vida and Vukojevic, "- commented Vernidou in an interview with the publication Fotboom.
Recall that Vukojevic and Vida after winning the quarterfinals over the team of Russia recorded a video, which says that they dedicate their victory to Ukraine. Later, this caused a wide response in the public.
