Serhii Palkin, FC Shakhtar CEO:
– I am happy and sad at the same time about this. I am happy because this is our victory where we competed with such giants as Formula 1: Drive to Survive, Quarterback. So I congratulate all our supporters and fans on this victory! I am grateful to CBS, Peter Radovich, Alex Gale and Volodymyr Mula and the entire creative team that worked on the series. I am sad because this is a film about the terrible days of war, about pain, tears, suffering. But in any case, it is a victory. Our victory, the victory of all Ukraine. Because the world must know about the war and we will use every opportunity to gain world support in the fight against the aggressor. And I believe that each of us should strive to win in what we do and the desired big victory will come through such small successes. I believe in it. Football Must Go On! Glory to Ukraine!
