Mykola Zhidkov gave his life for the freedom of Ukraine in the fight against the Russian invaders.
Another Ukrainian athlete became a victim of the war unleashed by Russia on the territory of Ukraine.
On its Facebook page, the Polish club Wengzhanka published a post in which he said that Nikolai Zhidkov died in battle for our country.
According to the statement of the team from the seventh division of Poland, in the fall of 2022, the Ukrainian suspended his football career, returned to Ukraine and joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Nicholas is 22 years old. He played for Wengzhanka from 2020 to 2022.
“Very sad news. In the war across our eastern border, a player from FC Wengzhanka, who returned to Ukraine last fall to bravely defend his family, friends and homeland from Russian aggression, died. “
“Miki” is a very pleasant, polite and helpful man. No one knew him and did not sympathize with him. When he was on the field, he fought to the last breath for the victory of his team, and when it came to fighting for the freedom of his country, he sacrificed what a person can get at a young age – he sacrificed his own life .
“We will miss you, Friend, but we will never forget you,” the club said in a statement.
In the past, Marta Kostyuk was booed by fans at Roland Garros for refusing to shake hands with a tennis player from Belarus.
After that, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine, Dmitry Kuleba, came to Marta’s defense, advising these “fans” to visit Bucha, who became an example of what the “Russian world” was up to.
