Ukrainian war, footballers against: Dzyuba responds to Mikolenko and Yarmolenko

“The war will end, but human relations will remain. And, as far as those are concerned, it will not be possible to go back.” After the messages addressed to him in the past few hours by his Ukrainian colleagues, the Russian striker Artem Dzyuba vented on his Instagram channel, commenting on the events of the last few days by means of a long post.

“It was not my intention to comment on what is happening in Ukraine – explained the Zenit player -. It is not a question of fear: I am not a political expert, it is not up to me to express myself on what happened. Obviously, however, I have my own. opinion. I am against any kind of war, it is a scary thing. Likewise, I also hate racism, discrimination, aggression and human hatred. And I don’t understand why the athletes in my country have to suffer from this situation. “.

After the decisions adopted by the main sports federations at world level, in fact, Russian and Belarusian athletes have been excluded from all international activities. The demonstrations planned within the borders of the two countries, on the other hand, have been canceled. “Why, if it is always said that sport must remain out of politics, does this rule seem to have been canceled today? – continued Dzyuba -. In times of difficulty, people show their essence, sometimes negative. And that’s how it is. so much malice has come out, so much filth, poured out on the Russians regardless of their ideas and their professions. All this creates even more negativity. Remember: the war will end, but human relations will remain “.

There was also a response to the messages from Mikolenko and Yarmolenko, who in the past few hours had asked Russian footballers in a very aggressive way to express their opinion. “While you, you bastard, keep quiet along with your fucking teammates, civilians are being killed in Ukraine – the message from the first, Everton left-back who even tagged Dzyuba in his stories – you will remain hidden in a hole for the rest. of your life and, even worse, for the rest of your children’s lives. I’m glad no one will ever forgive you, you bastards. ” Yarmolenko, in the same vein, had commented through his account: “I have a question for fellow Russian players: why did you sit around like idiots and don’t say anything?”. Dzyuba’s response did not take long to arrive, again through his latest post: “To some colleagues who are with their asses on the sofa of a comfortable villa in England, I mean: we cannot be offended by these things, we must try to understand the others”.
