“Today the result was the main priority. We achieved it, and now we have a chance to fight for promotion to League A. Each of us had a lot of responsibility; we didn’t get the necessary result in the previous match against Georgia, so today it was essential to win. I congratulate all of Ukraine. My goal? The most important thing is today’s victory. Of course, I am trying to regain my optimal condition, as I have missed a lot.
It was nice to score a goal; I was preparing for it as soon as I learned I would be in the starting lineup. Today marks 1000 days since the beginning of the full-scale war of the aggressor against Ukraine. I understand how difficult it is for all Ukrainians right now, so I want to dedicate this victory specifically to Ukrainians. Together we are unbreakable. I am confident that peace will come very soon, and we will all live as we did before,” Zinchenko said on MEGOGO.
