Winger Shakhtar caught the first day of the war in Kyiv
Winger Shakhtaracting on loan for Fulham, Manor Solomon spoke about the first day of the Russian invasion of Ukrainewhich he found in Kyiv.
“I woke up in the middle of the night when I heard explosions, so I turned on the TV and my phone and saw that some other players were texting asking what was going on. Then they said on the news that something started in Kyiv and there were some explosions.”
“No one knew exactly what was happening, but we understood that something bad was happening. I have a driver who will take me to the border. I took all the luggage I could.”
“It was a terrible day, really. We got to the border around 18 hours. And if it wasn’t a fast driver and if he wasn’t driving on back roads, it would have taken maybe two or three days, because everyone was going to the same place.”
“It was a nightmare at the border, I saw many children and their mothers who did not know what would happen to them. I crossed the border, I had a family to return to, I had a country to return to, I had a home in Israel. But they didn’t know what was going to happen to them, so it was a really terrible day.”
“I don’t know exactly what is happening now in some places in Ukraine. But I know that many of my friends are now in the west of the country, it’s easier there. I know that there are alarms in Kyiv, and I think that they cannot leave their homes after 11 pm. It’s not a normal life and I just hope the war ends as soon as possible because it’s terrible.”
Recall that Fulham rented Solomon from Shakhtar last summer. For the London team, the Israeli played 9 matches and scored 2 goals.
Fulham are 6th in the Premier League. Today, Solomon’s team will play in the match of the 25th round of the Premier League with Wolverhampton.
Today marks exactly one year since the military invasion of the Russian army in Ukraine.
