Ukraine midfielder, Oleksandr Zinchenko has come out to say that he wants peace in his country. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he wants, above all else, to see peace in his homeland, and this is the wish of every Ukrainian kid all across the globe.
Zinchenko added that Ukraine players want to go to the World Cup and make it special for all its citizens who have been battling the current hardship.
His words, “Every Ukrainian wants one thing — to stop this war,”
“I spoke to people from different countries, all over the world and I spoke to some Ukrainian kids who just don’t understand what’s happening back in Ukraine. They only want the war to stop. They have one dream to stop the war.”
“When it comes to football, the team, we have our own dream. We want to go to the World Cup, want to give these incredible emotions to the Ukrainians because they deserve it so much at this very moment.”
“It’s impossible to describe these feelings until you are not in this position. The things which are happening now in our country, it’s not acceptable. It’s something which I cannot even describe.”
“So that’s why we need to stop this aggression altogether and we need to win because Ukraine is a country of freedom. Ukraine is never going to give up.”
“But the thing is, which I would like to say as well that a lot of countries maybe don’t understand that: Today it is Ukraine but tomorrow it can be you. So that’s why we need to be united and need to defeat aggression altogether.”
“I am sure that the whole of Ukraine will be watching us. We will feel the support. We can talk a lot, but we need to prove everything on the field. We will try to make our people happy and proud.”
