Shakhtar midfielder Taras Stepanenko told how he feels about the decision of foreign players to leave the club.

" We understand that the situation in our country is very difficult.. Every day our cities are shelled, so we can understand foreign football players who are worried about their families, their lives.

They use this rule, which in my opinion is unfair for the clubs, but for safety, the players had this right and they took advantage of it.

Therefore, we have no right to condemn them,” Stepanenko said..

Recall that due to the invasion of Russia, Shakhtar players Alan Patrick, Bogdan Vyunik, Vitao, Tete, Vinicius Tobias, Maicon, Junior Moraes, Fernando, Neres, Marcos Antonio, Pedrinho, Cipriano, Solomon, have already changed teams or gone on loan..

Traore remained the only legionnaire in the team, and the Pitmen signed Croatian Djurasek.
