A meeting wanted and risked by Sheva, who no longer devotes all his energies to football but to helping his nation deal with the war that is currently raging in his homeland.
“He became the first ambassador of the fundraising platform UNITED24, created by the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy,” he writes Shevchenko on his social profile. “I traveled from London to Kyiv to meet him in person and I am happier than ever to be at home here. I have been representing Ukraine on the international football arena for many years. But today, when my country is suffering from war.” My priority is not football, but supporting Ukraine.
“I encourage you to make a donation to @u24.gov.ua. All funds are immediately transferred to the accounts of the National Bank of Ukraine: you can donate to mine clearance in Ukraine, save someone’s life by donating to medical needs, or rebuild a kindergarten or a bridge. Every contribution is invaluable as Russia has destroyed more than 7,000 buildings, thousands of kilometers of roads and is killing Ukrainians every day.. I thank the President of Ukraine for the trust and for this great honor. And thanks to each of you for your commitment! I invite you to contribute to the victory of Ukraine. In the victory of freedom, in the victory of the free world,” concludes Shevchenko. Milan, today’s top news: Updates on the future of Ibrahimovic and Kalulu.
