Ukrainian coach Oleg Fedorchuk spoke about the Russian attack, which began on the morning of February 24.

He spoke about this in an interview with FanDay..

" I think that there are not so many nations, not peoples - no more than twenty in the world. We become a nation. On the one hand, concern for family and friends. On the other hand, pride in the fact that we are probably the most courageous people in the world, because we are fighting the greatest world state, which everyone is afraid of.

The war is really over. If Russia did not have nuclear weapons, then it would have capitulated. Purely militarily, it is clear that we have already won. Bidding is currently underway. In the most pessimistic circumstances, all this will last another one or two months.. If optimistic - a week.

The Russians do not have as many resources as they said. They have always lived in illusions and deceit. They used to deceive themselves in sports that they are world football champions. Same in the army. The main thing is that our country helped to take the children away - our future. Over the past two days in Kyiv, I have not seen a single child. This suggests that we have saved our future, it is safe.. And we will fight for the territory,"

Separately, he spoke about two Ukrainian football players who are now on the territory of the occupying country.. We are talking about Anatoly Tymoshchuk and Ivan Ordets, who have already completed their careers..

\? There was no nation without traitors. Everyone chooses their own path. They chose their. I would like to appeal to all football players. Do not get carried away with jingoistic patriotism. Tymoshchuk was covered from head to toe with Ukrainian symbols.

I despise people who advertise their creeds when they defiantly pray in front of the cameras and go to church to score goals.. I despise people who defiantly show their patriotism, trying to prove that they are above someone else..

Real patriotism is shown by the guys on the front line, who are fighting not in embroidered shirts, but defending our homeland.

So we need to change our approach. Tymoshchuk is a vivid illustration of the fact that behind a good wrapper there may be something completely different from what we expect.. We need to stop believing those who splurge. When people want to please for no reason, it always arouses suspicion.. A man shouldn't like. He must show his potential. He should be proud and he should be respected. And we have a lot of athletes who want to please,” Fedorchuk said..
