Former defender of Lviv "

He spoke about this during a telethon on the air of the 1 + 1 channel..

The 36-year-old football player declared his readiness to defend Ukraine from Russian invaders with weapons in his hands.

" I'm not that educated. In this country I became who I am. So I'm ready to stand here until the end. Ready to defend our land until our victory. It will be necessary to shoot - we will shoot.

If the Muscovites break through here, they will feel what the partisanship of Western Ukraine is, the guys there burn them, and we will slaughter them here like pigs, so it will be.

It's nice that in such a difficult time people take the initiative, because they understand the complexity of the situation, the offensive of these damned occupiers. What they are doing on our Ukrainian land, how they treat the population, how they bomb our cities with forbidden bombs at night. It's annoying. My soul hurts not only for me, but for every Ukrainian,"
