Oleg Blokhin: "You are fighting not only with the soldiers of Ukraine, but also with the civilian population. It is unacceptable! This is a crime! ”

Legend of Ukrainian football, former star striker of Dynamo Kyiv Oleh Blokhin sharply condemned the Russian invasion of our country.

Legendary Ukrainian footballer, winner of the Golden Ball -1975, and now - co-chairman of the Council for Strategic Development of Professional Football UAF, co-chairman of the Committee of National Teams UAF Oleg Blokhin assessed the aggression of Russia and Belarus against Ukraine.

"I, Oleg Blokhin, call on all those on whom this depends, first of all the military command of Russia and Belarus, to immediately stop shelling the cities of Ukraine and withdraw their troops. You are at war not only with the soldiers of Ukraine, but also with the civilian population. It is unacceptable! This is a crime!

Cities and villages have been bombed in Ukraine. I am a native of Kyiv, my hometown has not seen such aggression since World War II. Kyiv, Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Kherson, Mykolayiv, other cities and villages were destroyed.

Football, to which I have been devoted and devoted all my life, continues to suffer losses since the beginning of the occupation of Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk regions. The national teams have completely stopped training. All sports events have been suspended. Athletes are forced to defend their homeland instead of playing sports.

The World Football and Sports Federations have condemned your actions, removing the national teams of Russia and Belarus from participating in international tournaments.

You are closing the world heritage. You are closing the world to Russians and Belarusians. Come to your senses! Withdraw troops! Stop this war!

I pray for our Ukraine! ” - wrote Oleg Blokhin on his page in Instagram.
