Far from battlefields and Russian invaders, the Ukrainian footballers exempted from military service are trying to complete the mission to lead their country to the World Cup.
Ukraine players form a circle during a training session at the Cardiff City Stadium, Cardiff, Wales Saturday June 4, 2022, the day before the team play Wales in a World Cup play-off soccer match. –
“We all hope that very soon Ukraine will be liberated and will return to being an independent country," Ukraine midfielder Oleksandr Karavayev said through a translator in the Welsh capital.“This is a great positive stimulus and brings positive emotions because everyone believes and sees how the whole world is united around us.”
Keeping Ukraine high in the headlines can be partly achieved by the men qualifying for a first World Cup since 2006. But it might take time for their compatriots on the frontlines to discover the result in Wales.
