The former striker of Dynamo Kiev and the Ukrainian national team expressed his attitude to the war unleashed by the Putin regime.
Viktor Leonenko has always treated Ukrainians, Russians and Belarusians as a people, and until recently he did not believe in the attacks of Kremlin troops on Ukraine. The former Dynamo Kiev striker and the national team itself spoke about it in an interview on Football 1/2/3 TV channels.
According to the ex-footballer, who was born in Russian Tyumen, the war finally divided the Russians and Ukrainians.
“Of course, this is not normal. I am one of many who have said that Russians, Ukrainians, Belarusians are one people. Now we see that this is not happening. Of course, like everyone else, I believe that Ukrainians are people. Are dying ours is dying too.
I went to the Ukrainian soldiers to support them, I went half a day. During the war there was no serious concern in my house. And we are used to bombing. This war divided the Russians and Ukrainians.
I, like others, did not believe until the very end that they would attack us. Until February 24. And now, I think, there is no need to prove that people are dying from all sides. I went to the Ukrainian military. There they showed me a lot, told me. I even try not to listen or read the news, because they make me sad, ”Leonenko said.
