The leader of the Ukrainian national basketball team Anton Pustovoy spoke about the life of relatives in the Russian occupation.

" They don't want to leave even though I offered them a thousand times. They say they don't want to leave the house. While they're there, we'll see. Thank God we have a connection. Sometimes the Internet disappears, but this is for a day or two, then it resumes.

More or less able to contact them regularly. Both video and text messages. Although I tell them: \? No one knows what these damned occupiers will come up with tomorrow." But it has not yet been possible to convince them,"

Recall that on February 24, Russian President Putin made an urgent statement about conducting a special military operation on the territory of Ukraine, launching a large-scale invasion of Ukrainian cities..

Russian invaders managed to occupy Kherson in early March 2022.

Pustovoy, 30, has been playing for Barcelona since 2018, and last summer it became known that the Ukrainian left the Catalan club as a free agent and moved to Gran Canaria..

Before Barca, Pustovoy played for Obradoiro and Khimik. In 2015 he won the championship of Ukraine, and after that he became the champion of Spain.

In July of this year, Pustovoy moved to the Spanish basketball club UKAM Murcia..
