Such an impressive young man at just 25 years. This transcends football. Sending prayers from the red side of Manchester.
On the eve of the derby, thank you. From the blue half of Manchester.
Well said pal 👍 ctid
⭐Manchester a City United 🇺🇦🕊️❤️💙🙏
@@brettriverboat9920Mr. Riverboat, Please consider being KIND. As I feel it was nice of Mr. Walker, to say he was ❤️ Utd fan.. As it.shows SOLIDARITY in these challenging times & I really appreciated that.. You cannot please everyone I suppose?! I wish you well.. 🕊️💙
If he cares that much about his country why he’s not fighting in the war the prick
This Heart-breaking ... Cant even imagine what he's going through. NO TO WAR
What about New Castle owner's war on Yemen?
Cannot you see that? Or you eye can see only Europeans?
He has a point ,All this coverage is hypocritical and most People don't care about Ukraine its a domestic issue nothingbto do with us
@ Kazi Imran White Europeans only care about White Europeans some of them have said it on BBC,NBC and other Western Media
@@imran007ju Ur on a British sports channel you clown
No to war, No to any war. Where are the sanctions for Saudi Arabia for the Yemen crisis, for Israel for Palestine genocide. Where were the sanctions when UK and US invasion in Iraq. The sad truth is not all blood is the same. When Arabs or Africans die there isn't the outrage as there is when it happening in Europe in Ukraine. If they go and protect their land they wont be let back to UK called terrorists but going to Ukraine from the UK you are seen as a hero. Its hypricosy and the media drive there agenda. What Russia is doing is abhorrent and totally wrong but that is happening all over the world. European blood weighs heavier than the other war torn countries. # speak out for all war
The way he spoke with out showing emotions or anger is amazing. Prays are with you and your country may god bless you.
Most Russian, baltic, ukrainian men are very stoic in nature.
@@jordandavis3867 One man wanted to destroy and claim a nation on a personal whim, his armies of men will mindlessly kill for it, and you will still perceive them to have great stoicism. This is the tragic irony of Putin's war.
I can’t find words, how you help ordinary people, not your power, not politics, they are afraid to help, you help ordinary people from different countries, I am grateful to you with all my heart, thank you brother of the world!!!!
@@C33Fernandez that is lie. Do you even know about war that has been going for 8 years on Donbas? Do you know about killed kids, abused elders?
Brilliant interview, as an Irishman I can only feel his pain, history repeats itself again, god bless Ukraine
I can’t find words, how you help ordinary people, not your power, not politics, they are afraid to help, you help ordinary people from different countries, I am grateful to you with all my heart, thank you brother of the world!!!!
This was such powerful and moving interview.
and CITY is the best team of the world💙
@@londoniswhitemanchesterisred Sadlly as United fan I admit you certainly better than us . All banter aside the situation in Ukraine is above football rivalry. This inteview made me choke up a bit.

@@frederickmasterburton3836 don’t be an idiot there won’t be ww3
@@brettriverboat9920 What's he going to do? He's a footballer making millions, not a fighter. If anything, he would help better by playing football and donating money to the cause rather than turning up and getting shot.
Such a great professional that he can play with this weight on him. Prayers to his friends and family in Ukraine🙏🙏.
From an LFC fan, our entire fanbase is with Ukraine. Shocking but what great strength from Zinchenko here
Your entire fanbase is with a country which has secluded many russian Ukrainians simply because of their heritage, has neo-n*zi wings of their armies and threatened Russia in hopes that the west would back them fully? Ok LFC fan...
@@HonestMan112 Honest man? another joker obviously you wouldn`t know what truth was if it jumped up and bit you on the arse. So big nasty Ukraine are bullying little russia, the russians are fighting bravely shelling the old and shooting women and children in the streets. Dont bother to tell me how clever and well informed you are I can already tell you work in the circus.
@@brianshockledge3241 haha you still think the western media tells you the truth? After Iraq's 'weapons of mass destruction', Julian Assange's imprisonment and all this covid bs, you still trust the western media? I think we both know who really works at the circus
@@HonestMan112 I dont trust the western media either but when you see an old woman whose just had a leg blown off and bleeding to death or children with cancer cowering in a basement it sort of makes up your mind for you. All this while you clowns scream fake news you`re not right in the head.
🇺🇦
Absolutely heart breaking. Peace. No to wars.
We need more people like Zinchenko in this world. 😢
zinchenko has always been a top guy, might not play every week but he never stops pushing and never moans, can’t imagine what he’s going through but city and rest of the country is with u pal, all of europe stands with ukraine
All of Europe? No it doesn't.
In tears watching this. What a nightmare. Praying for Ukraine 😔🙏

Wow! As an Ukrainian I just can confirm, that every flag of Ukraine which I see, is a massive motivation and support🇺🇦 Thanks for this interview🙏
Must be massively difficult for him, on one hand I'm sure he'd want to go back and help his country, on the other hand he has a family in England he has to be there for. Having watched him over the years, he's always been a happy go lucky character, hard to see him in this way.
I’m a Liverpool fan and I cried watching this because I can’t imagine what he is going though 😢😢 and I pray for his family and Ukraine people. If Man City wins the title I hope so for him and for his family. We come together for Ukraine💛💙, NO TO WAR! 🚫
I appreciate zinchenko talking about this knowing how difficult it is for him.
@@brettriverboat9920 he's clearly struggling with it, yeah. but he has obligations to his family and you have to respect his decision not to fight.
He should stay here and fight for the title to give his countrymen a hero to follow....
@@mishatomskovich7103 The Ukrainians could care less if Zinchenko wins the PL or not. That is so secondary in this moment.
@@brettriverboat9920 ok keyboardwarrior
@@mokkaveli so ukrainians who fight for their country dont have family huh ?
Big up zinchenko he is a legend and so are Ukraine I feel so sad for him and Ukraine 🇺🇦 ❤
I can't imagine what he's been through. Thoughts and prayers for all Ukraine people.
He’s not one of the ones fighting though
@@Ollie121299OnPC 911 happened and it hurt everyone… why did it hurt everyone if not everyone got hurt? you’re a very oblivious and immature person who doesn’t love anything it seems, if you love your country this is unfathomable. 911 breaks everyone’s hearts because of pride, any ukrainian should be given all the praise in the world rn, you’re disgusting
"Always believe in your soul. You've got the power to know you're indestructible." 💙💛
Keep on praying and keep on fighting
Great interview it’s heartbreaking listening to him ❤️🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
My heart is with you and yours stay positive 💕🙏🏾
Prayers go out to him and his family, hope everything’s goes well, from a Liverpool fan
Sending all love and wishes of peace.. ❤️❤️🙏❤️❤️🙏🙏. We see you! and support peace and stopping the war
I feel heartbroken just seeing the sad look on his face, top class player, I hope everything goes good for him and I’m praying for him and Ukraine at the moment. 🇺🇦🙏
Do u feel sad that everyday 480 Ethiopian children die because of famine AND WAR?
@@SakayoBukayo yes, I was praying for them as well, the civil war in Ethiopia really broke my heart as well. I hope Ethiopia gets better.
@@SakayoBukayo I personally couldn’t care less about Ethiopia 😌
@@britishempireno1fan851 exactly what I thought about Ukraine. No problem for me 🙂
@@SakayoBukayo people like you are so sad. One situation doesn’t mean another situation doesn’t matter. This regards a nuclear war. You need to pipe down and gain a bit of humanity in you.
Just also understand that we were doing this to families in Iraq & Afghanistan for the past 20 years, so not only one 'enemy' country deserves your outrage, it's the enemy of human greed and pride.
Completely true, a lot of it is down to media though, same as the Russian media right now, they control public opinions
America is responsible for this, just like they are Iraq and Afghanistan. Yet the western propaganda media wants to blame Putin and people are falling for it again.
The comment I was looking for
@@wiseguy8705 obviously we're the weirdo conspiracy people for bringing this up though
@@wailer27 Nah we're just woke and not brainwashed by the media
An extremely courageous and moving interview. Please donate to the Red Cross if you can, write to your MP if you think the UK should do more…..
NO!!....let the Red Cross pay for their own prostitutes
We are with you 🇺🇦
Such a humble football player and the world is with all of you Ukraine 🇺🇦.
Credit to his family, credit to his club, and a credit to his Country…🇺🇦🇬🇧🇺🇦🇬🇧
I'm so glad they have done this interview. I feel so bad for Zinny... and he's just 1 man amongst millions who are experienceing this ☹
It must be hard for him in his mansion in Alderly Edge. I guess I know why he doesn't go back and fight
@@askully Sir, Wars are fought in all manner of ways. He is using his global platform to speak out for PEACE.. He has also been organising for urgent supplies to be sent to his people.. Please show him some compassion.. I wish you PEACE. 🕊️❤️🙏
@@mrspilling7664 coward that's the only word!!!!
@@polaris7122 really? Cos if I were a multimillionaire I would also use my wealth and status to support and aid. Or is it better for him to just run into the front line and throw his life away? Lots of thought behind what you said I see.

Solid interview. No to war.
Heart breaking and moving.
Great interview👏, a really emotional one... 🤧 I'm with Alex and all the people suffering🙏Glory to Ukraine🇺🇦God please stop this war✝️
A good hearted man 👍 Man United fan,respect to you ✌
we are with you. This is bigger than football
Heartbreaking 😢
Heart wrenching interview. I don't blame any Russian footballer for not speaking up. Fear of being killed isn't worth an Instagram post speaking out against war.
They don't get killed. They get fined for 100k rubles which is nothing for them. They just don't speak out because they are afraid russians may think as traitor of them. Embarrassing stuff
@@teach450 That is not guarenteed. I live next to Russia. And the Kreml will get you.. wherever you are.
Ppl are forgetting that in war both sides thing what they are doing is the right thing ? Or at least that’s the way the present it to the ppl.
It’s pretty easy for governments to control what their ppl think . We saw that with covid . The Russian can do the same .
@@teach450 Might wanna research famous people who have been poisoned by the kremlin for speaking out… there’s quite a few.
Just gives you chills. I
A very affecting interview, it was absolutely the right decision to do it.
Much love to Oleks and his family.
To the comments, if you want to really help, consider sending money to the Ukranian Armed Forces or the Red Cross... even if it's a very small amount. If you can only afford a few pounds or a few euros, just do it. They have raised an outstanding amount of money so far just from small contributions.
So sad to see any country to go through this. Thoughts with Ukraine.
Not necessarily any country. Don’t think many tears would be shed for China
@@jonniepotter1194 Tears will be shed for human beings period you fool, shame this level of support wasn’t welcome for the Palestinians
Fucking heartbreaking, hope a peaceful resolution can be found quickly. Ameen.
We stand with you, Oleks 💙💛
@@brettriverboat9920 strong words, couch potato.
Now go take an English class
My heart breaks. We are with you
Cannot imagine what he is going through... Stay strong Zinchenko... YNWA mate ! I know this wont make any difference, but know the entire world is behind your country. I wish I could do something other than donating whatever little I can. Long Live Ukraine ! YNWA

Liverpool fan great person fair play we stand with Ukraine
Brave, fine, young man.
I pray for his family hopefully they stay safe throughout this war
That's as real as it gets 😔
Stay strong 🇺🇦 ♥
Strength to Oleksandr Zinchenko and ALL UKRAINIANS.
From a Liverpool fan stay strong and keep in touch with your family.
I get how zinchenko must be feeling, the u.s along with Britain & others invaded my country Iraq in march of 2003 under a false pretence, WMD’s…They found NO WMD’s instead I lost 13 family members to the pointless war. My heart goes out to the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦 & whoever is affected by war around the world. ❤️
Horrible what happened to your family, but is Iraq still a country ? Cus last I checked Iraq is still on the map. Russia is trying to occupy and takeover.
@@gruevlock24 Don't minimize what happened in Iraq. War criminals attacked both Iraq and Ukraine. America occupied Iraq for almost 20 years. Both invasions should have been/will be punished at The Hague.
@@gruevlock24 They are wings of the same bird of prey.
Go back there why are you in Europe this is not your land
Разница в том, что Украина миролюбивая страна, которая никогда ни с кем не воевала. У неё нет диктатора. Сейчас её земли захватывает государство-преступник Россия.
А Ираком правила диктатор Хусейн, который оккупировал Кувейт, напал на Иран, спонсировал терроризм. Чувствуешь разницу? Если Иракский народ не может успокоить своего правителя, то это придется делать мировому сообществу. Но мне жаль народ Ирака, война это плохо.
Zinnys we love you 💙🇺🇦🇵🇱🇬🇧
We stand strong with you and pray that this will be over soon , Olex God bless you and all your family and The Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏 ❤
I love Zinchenko such a great football b.o.a.t “best of all time” Ми стоїмо разом з Україною
Massive respect to Zinchenko for this interview, the world needs to see and hear what is happening in Ukraine.
I'm sending my best wishes from fellow Slavic country of Slovenia 🙏🙏 SLAVA UKRAINI !!!! 💛💛💙💙💛💛💙💙
Love is unique
Brave young man God bless your country
I can't bare to watch Zinny cry :(
Don't worry Zinchenko things would be normal , U have a great will Power ,Hats off to you for doing this
Ozil spoke up about the treatment of the Uyghurs of East Turkistan by China and Arsenal punished him by never letting him play for them again. Celtic showed their solidarity with the occupied (by Israel) people of Palestine couple of years ago and were fined by Uefa who said politics should be kept out of football. So much hypocrisy is be exposed with the situation in Ukraine.
Peace 🇺🇦🇵🇸
@@mohammedchowdhury5841 do you even know the slightest thing about Ukrainian history? Kyiv was a city even before Moscow was, don’t speak on a situation you know nothing about. Educate yourself then comment.
He didnt play again because he was useless
@@mohammedchowdhury5841 What gives you (or Putin) the right to define a nation's identity or deny people self determination? That's not rhetorical - I'd really like to explain why you think you have that right (assuming you can and you're not just some troll getting off on trying to offend people).
@@stevebailey5591 I’m trolling but I’m wrong for that. It’s just upsetting that innocents have to die and get caught up in the middle of this. People should treat all victims of war the same regardless of their beliefs or skin colour.

Very powerful very sad this needs to end
Ukranians, never give up, hope for good, we all are standing with you!!
No we aren’t. Speak for yourself and don’t be so ignorant.
You said Ukrainians like I'd imagine South Park or sum saying it 😂
Russia only committed small amount of their troops and the elite milatry are still stationed in Moscow and they never used heaven weapons which can cause destruction to huge cities. So its only matter of time I am afraid.

@@roryyoung10 yes show the coward all the respect!!!
Thanks to the BBC and Gary for this interview. Thanks to everyone who in the comments, in the squares and in the hearts supports us in other countries. I am in Kyiv now and believe me, we feel this support and we need it. I'm not a military man, but now everyone here is helping in some way. A lot of people are united as one organism. And your support also motivates us to fight with evil. Our warriors are all heroes for centuries. We are now fighting for our freedom and for the world, you must also understand this.
Thanks!!!
It makes so sad to see so much pain in him
If BBC could do this for Ukraine then why didn't they interview Ozil when he was trying to highlight Palestine and Afghanistan plight?
because it does not relate their narrative.
Because they are not white, only white lives matter!
i’m a crying man
Extremely sad 💔
What a top lad. 💙💙💙
Should go fight
@@askully He`s just said he would if it weren`t for his wife and child besides they only want people with military experience.
