"I won't allow it": traitor Tymoshchuk spoke about the war in Ukraine for the first time, calling himself a "professional and a human being"

Former Shakhtar Donetsk captain Anatolii Tymoshchuk cynically called on Ukraine to start negotiations with Russia to end the current war. The assistant head coach of Zenit St. Petersburg called it a political manipulation to deprive him of all his awards and titles for his shameful silence about the Russian invasion of our country on February 24, 2022.

Tymoshchuk stated this in a letter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne (CAS), speaking about the war for the first time, according to the CAS website. The former athlete accused the Ukrainian Football Association (UAF) of allegedly imposing illegal sanctions and also spoke out "for peace in his native land," forgetting that it was Russia, where he continues to work, that unleashed the unmotivated war.

"I strongly advocate peace in my native land, and the only thing I can think about now is for the parties to sit down at the negotiating table as soon as possible and find a consensus that will restore peace. If the UAF believes that sanctions against me will somehow help this, then I myself am ready to give up everything. But as a professional, an athlete, and a person for whom a football reputation is more than just words, I will never allow myself to be made an instrument of political manipulation," Tymoshchuk said.

This looks especially cynical because earlier he took part in an auction that raised money for the Russian army in the Kursk region, where the Ukrainian army has established a bridgehead. The traitor also had a business in Ukraine.

Anatolii refused to condemn Russia for the attack on Ukraine and only managed to squeeze out a small Instagram story in which he simply called for peace. In addition, it was reported that Tymoshchuk is trying to obtain a Romanian passport. The Zenit coach is trying to circumvent the sanctions imposed on him by the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC).

Earlier, it was reported that the traitor to Ukraine was recruited by the Federal Security Service (FSB), which is the reason for his silence on the war in Ukraine.
