Oleksandr Zinchenko: “All Russian and Belarusian athletes should be banned from sport!” (Read More Here).
I remember quite well the first couple of weeks, I just lost my head. I didn’t know where I was, where I was driving to… it was like I was in space.’
In the weeks and months that followed Russia’s initial invasion, Zinchenko served as a beacon of support for Ukraine from within the Premier League.
Regularly waving the Ukrainian flag in the air at the end of matches or offering passionate speeches, the defender has maintained a strong support for the country.
And, while Zinchenko has remained vocal, the defender insisted that he was unhappy with the silence from Russian and Belarusian athletes.
When asked by Morgan, the Arsenal defender admitted that he wouldn’t shake the hands of athletes from those countries and called for them to be banned from sport. The Arsenal star was then asked whether he would join the war in Ukraine, if asked. He said: ”There will be a time everyone will be there. It will be the last call or something or whatever.
‘It will be a call. We go, all of us, we go there. Everyone will go. Of course. In the same time, I’m thinking about how I’m much more helpful from here at the moment.
‘But you never know what’s going to happen. How many people have been killed from this invasion? I don’t see myself hiding somewhere.’
