Since then, the current assistant coach of Zenith Saint Petersburg has not frankly given any clues that could suggest that the fate of Ukraine matters to him a lot, even if no indisputable document comes to prove an official collaboration with Moscow.

However, some former teammates and friends like Andriy Yarmolenko tried to reach him to understand, in vain.

The West Ham striker sums up his brief conversation with Tymoshchuk in the British press as follows: “I messaged him to ask how he could sleep at night.
