"&The football family in Donetsk has been living under war conditions for eight years, so they know very well what it means to help people at risk to their own lives. I am grateful to Maxim Efimov for his courage and active humanitarian work in his region since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion. This includes evacuating hundreds of children, delivering necessary medications to local hospitals, and supporting defending soldiers. We are proud and continue our cooperation!"" - Andriy Pavelko noted.
