“If you think we live far away from Ukraine, you are wrong”… Saronas Yassikevitsios in his statements after her victory Barcelona on Andorra was not in the mood to talk about basketball. The Lithuanian coach referred to the big issue that… burns the whole planet, the war in Ukraine expressing – indirectly but clearly – complaints from Spain its point of view on the issue.
“If you think we live far away from Ukraine, then you are wrong. Spain needs to take what is happening more seriously. It has to be more aggressive “stated and continued: “I know I get involved where I am not sown, but that’s how I think. “We do not know how far this man can go.” said the Lithuanian coach.
The statements of the coach of the Spanish team in detail:
“I feel bad, to be honest. I watch TV, BBC or CNN all the time. Every morning when I come here, my colleagues and I try to talk about basketball, but it’s not easy.
It is inevitable, I will wake up, take the cell phone in my hands and look for what is happening. I hope Kyiv is still in Ukrainian hands. I expect a lot of news after one night. And there are concerns from everyone. You may not understand the situation here in Spain. We have always lived on this side of the world and we know what is happening. We must take it seriously. This must stop here.
Spain needs to be more aggressive. I know I get involved where I am not sown, but I think so. We do not know how far this man (Putin) can go. Either way, we must help the Ukrainians. As a citizen of Lithuania, I will follow the advice of the government, and I will put basketball second, if necessary. I think something related is going to be announced in the coming days.
But this can not continue. If people think they live far away, they are wrong. I have always been against politics, but this is not politics, it is war. You go to Facebook or see photos and you feel awful. It will be a stain on our lives. “This is worse than a pandemic.”
