The captain of the Ukrainian national football team Oleksandr Zinchenko admitted that because of the full-scale war he wants to forget about his career in Russia, where he played for Ufa.

“Again, I would like to say thank you to Ufa for everything they have done for me, but after all I just want to forget that period of my life. I want to erase all memories of this. We can say that other people can't do anything, it's not their decision, and so on.. But I talked with several footballers. Well, I wrote to them, but did not receive a response.. Why are you silent? Why You Can't Even Post Anything on Social Media to Stop These Things? Because they don't care.

Someone may say that they are afraid of prison, that they will not be able to return to the country. I do not believe in that.

I had my environment there. But they became zeros. I don't want to know anything about this terrorist country. For me, this is obvious," com with a link to Channel 4 Sport.

Oleksandr Zinchenko, 26, currently plays for London's Arsenal.. He played for Ufa in 2015-2016 before being transferred to Manchester City.
