"At night after the match we were on the road, in the morning we returned with Artem to Kyiv," Andrii Pavelko said. - Artem drove home, changed his clothes and, accompanied by UAF doctors, immediately went for an examination. He is a fighter and said that even if he returned everything, he would not remove his leg and would still go to the end for the victory of our team. This is the manifestation of his true human and fighting qualities. We hope that the operation will not be necessary, everything will be fine, and if the doctors allow - we will organize a trip for him and his wife to the game of the national team of Ukraine with England, so that he was close to the team".
