Former footballer of Dynamo and the Ukrainian national team Alexander Aliyev, who is now serving in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, spoke about the help of the Ukrainian army from the Donetsk Shakhtar footballer Yaroslav Rakitsky.< /strong>
According to Aliyev, the current football player helps the military financially.
— I would like to say a huge thank you to Yarik Rakitsky. He helps a lot. Everything I asked for the boys, I never heard a word from him. I will never be impudent. I asked for drones — he did everything for me, asked for a uniform for the boys — he did everything for me. I asked for something else — he will always do everything, will always happily respond and help, — he said.
According to the ex-Dynamo player, he always reports to Rakitsky about the funds spent, although Yaroslav himself tells him that there is no need to do so. To which Aliyev adds that “this cannot be done.”

During an interview with Ksenia Bolbot’s YouTube channel, he also said that he would serve while the war was going on. According to him, he cannot go anywhere.
In May, Rakitsky commented on the Russian stage of his career at Zenit and spoke about the decision to leave Russia after a full-scale attack on Ukraine.
According to the player, February 24 put everything in its place, so he without hesitation broke the contract with the club from St. Petersburg and returned to Ukraine.
