39-year-old former midfielder of Dynamo Kyiv and the Ukrainian national team Oleksandr Aliyev published a video address made in Sudzhi, Kursk region, reports WomanEL. In the recording, he addressed the FSB of Russia, emphasizing that he had come personally.
“What's up, FSB? Please. Don't look for me. I came to you myself. I'm in Kursk. Come and tie me up. You wanted to. Ukraine is a force!
Aliyev said in the video.
On October 10, 2024, the Russian authorities declared Alexander Aliyev under suspicion, accusing him of “terrorist activities.” According to the laws of the Russian Federation, he faces up to 7 years in prison.
Despite the threats, the ex-football player demonstrates an unyielding position and devotion to Ukraine, causing a resonance with his bold actions.
By the way, Aliyev was born in Khabarovsk, Russia, but at a young age he ended up in the academy of Dynamo Kyiv. Later, he received Ukrainian citizenship and played for the Ukrainian national team.
After the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, Aliyev joined the ranks of the defenders of Ukraine, actively expressing his civic position.
Recall that recently the presenter Andriy Dzhedzhula went to defend Ukraine.
