President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi thanked Ukraine players and coaches for the result in the game with North Macedonia

 

 The President published a post in Facebook, dedicated to the victory of Andriy Shevchenko's team at Euro 2020 match..

"Today Ukraine only needed a victory", - Volodymyr Zelensky mentioned. - And today our guys got it. And nothing else matters.

I just talked about it with Ukraine head coach Andriy Shevchenko. He conveyed congratulations and gratitude to all the players, coaches and staff of the national team for the important result.

From Kyiv to Bucharest - almost 1000 kilometers, but this is not the distance for a powerful wave of support for our team from all over the country. According to the players, they felt this support all 90 minutes.

And it seems that it was 90 minutes of large-scale synchronization of more than 40 million Ukrainians. Near screens on terraces, near office computers, home TVs, radios and smartphones, from Uzhhorod to Luhansk, from Chernihiv to Simferopol - we all shouted happily when Yarmolenko scored, then shouted again when Yaremchuk scored, then resented the penalty at our goal, the whole country drank a sedative in the last five minutes and the whole country hugged after the final whistle.

There are a few days ahead to recover the nervous system and a broken voice, so that in the match with Austria we can once again charge our national team of Ukraine with a big single wave of forty million.

Only Ukraine! Only victory! ”
