“What can be said at the moment – there is a full-scale war. Putin's troops are attacking all of Ukraine from different sides. The people of Russia are zombified right now. At least most of it. Of course, there are adequate people there who understand the whole situation. But often you communicate with people and you understand that they have seen enough of Russian propaganda channels. Moreover, there are many of these among the inhabitants of Ukraine. People believe that there really is some kind of special operation against some groups. But the people of Russia are deeply mistaken. I have been speaking Russian all my life. Everyone around me knows about it. And I have never been hurt in anything. There were no reproaches that I speak Russian. But Russian television propaganda works "perfectly." I watched one edition of their news. This insanity grew stronger, is called. But many people believe in it. I watch the stories of real people, communicate with the guys. I do not draw conclusions on the basis of what someone told me something. Of course, I would like to address the Russian athletes. Who knows me, who remembers me, use your brains! Stop watching these zombies. There is a real war here, people are dying here. If you do not believe me, go to the pages of Yarik Amosov, Oleksandr Usyk, Vasily Lomachenko, the Klitschko brothers. See where they are now and what they are doing. Your government is committing genocide against its own people by sending young boys to be slaughtered. They will arrive home in zinc coffins, and only Putin and the Russian authorities will be to blame for this. Now I am worried about my relatives and friends who remained in my hometown, in Ukraine. And, of course, I worry about the whole country, my homeland. Very scary".
