“I have spoken to our president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, about how essential football is to distraction,” Pavelko told the Associated Press in a team conference room in Cardiff. It was encircled by the Ukraine shirts and a tactics board.
“From infants to the elderly, everyone is preoccupied with the battle.” They gather notification on casualties. And the effects of the war on a daily basis.”
Shakhtar Donetsk led the standings when the season was stopped in February. And afterwards officially announced over in April. Earning it a spot in the prestigious Champions League group phase following season.
Shakhtar is in exile for eight years, living with instability. The squad really hasn’t performed in Donetsk since 2014. While it was pushed out due to a Russian-backed war in its native area of eastern Ukraine. It is still raging.
