Having spent a lifetime in Ukraineworking on Shakhtar Donetsk (2004-2016) and Dynamo Kiev (2020 to date), o Mircea Lucescu sad to see her Russian invasion to sow disaster in the country.

The experienced coach and father of the PAOK coach, Razvanis now in his homeland and spoke on Italian radio about the situation, referring among other things to what had happened in Donetsk in 2014, what he expects to happen and how his son is experiencing what is happening, while expressing the position that Russian teams should not be ruled out.

Analytically:

“I lived through the war of 2014, when we had to leave Donetsk and we never returned. For two years we played in Kyiv and then anywhere other than our home. I thought it would end like this, but now …

After the Russian invasion, we stayed in Kyiv for three days. Then, with the help of UEFA and the Moldovan Football Federation, all the foreign players from various Ukrainian teams fled to Romania and their homeland. I’m now in Bucharest, trying to help as many people as I can.

For me, sports should unite and not get involved with them. It’s like the cultural issue, it has to stay out of conflict.

I never thought that would happen, Ukrainians and Russians lived together as brothers. Now the problem is political, I do not know how it will end, because Ukrainians are proud people.

The war will last a long time and there will be no winners. We did not have to get here.

We have to be with the truth and help with whatever means we have, my son lives what happens with the feeling of participation and providing help “.
