Athletistic/ Others. Valery Morozov, a rugby player from the English club “Bath”, explained whether the attitude towards him changed after the start of the special operation in Ukraine.

“The attitude towards me remained the same. At the beginning, there was talk that the Russians would be asked for political reasons. They said that you would have to sign papers where you confirm that you do not support the country, but at the end there is none of that. People here understand where I come from and understand that I am just an athlete. We can’t be protected from tournaments. Here you are respected for the kind of person and athlete that you are. Until no one looks askance at me”, shared the rugby player.

Morozov also said that in England they now support Ukraine as much as possible, and the country’s flags are hung almost everywhere.
