Former goalkeeper of CSKA and the Russian national team Veniamin Mandrykin shared his opinion on a special military operation on the territory of Ukraine.
“I’m worried about our army. I support. I am not afraid of what is. I think everything is correct. It is necessary to crush the reptile, as our great-grandfathers and grandfathers did. Maybe it should have started earlier. But this is my outside opinion, authorities know better.
Have I been communicating with someone from Ukraine lately? No, I didn’t support it before,” Mandrykin recounts “Match TV”.
Mandrykin, 41, had to take a break from his sports career due to a serious injury he received in a car accident.
Recall that the tragic accident occurred in November 2010. He broke his spine and injured his spinal cord by crashing into a tree with his car leaving the traffic police pursuit at a speed of about 200 km/h. Veniamin had spinal surgery and was in intensive care. Doctors managed to save the man’s life, but he was bedridden from then on.
