is one of the most successful players in the history of Ukraine. He played as many as 144 matches in the national team, played at the World Cup in 2006 and at Euro 2012 and 2016. He won three national championships, two titles of the champion of Germany and Russia. He has played three times with Bayern Munich in the Champions League final, winning it in 2013. With Zenit, he won the UEFA Cup. The best footballer of Ukraine in 2006 and 2007 also received many medals of state rank for outstanding achievements in sport. But today she is a non grata persona. And this is by softly writing it.
“This man is a mountain,” said former Dynamo Kyiv and Ukraine player Oleksandr Aliyev.
– Russians, are you afraid to leave your homes? After all, it is the Ukrainians that lie under your tanks. Tola, you are from Ukraine, how can you be silent and continue working there? We played for the national team together, we proudly wore her T-shirt, we listened to the national anthem. We used to win and lose together, and now you just keep quiet? How can you live with it? -.
After several years of guerrilla warfare, the Russians attacked Ukraine openly again. Vladimir Putin’s army is destroying cities and murdering civilians. Many Ukrainian sportsmen, including the brothers Klitschko and Oleksandr Usyk, put on uniforms and defend their homeland. Others support the country at least on social media. And Tymoszczuk? Not only is he silent, but also remains in Russia, working in Zenit Saint Petersburg’s training staff.
Little? Tymoszczuk does not intend to keep her daughters. Due to sanctions against Russia regarding payment transactions, our client will probably not be able to pay for the maintenance of his daughters Noah and Mia as long as these sanctions are in place.
But it turns out that we didn’t know the worst.
Tymoszczuk became an associate of the Russian special services
Konstantyn Andrijuk, a Ukrainian journalist, posted on Facebook photos of documents which are to prove that Tymoshchuk has been an agent of the Russian secret services since 2012.
– About four years ago, during the first media reports about Tymoszczuk’s divorce, an interesting message came to my e-mail from an anonymous author. It was five photos. They were all from 2012. The photos showed documents confirming Tymoszczuk’s consent to cooperate with the FSB [Federalną Służbą Bezpieczeństwa] Andrijuk wrote. And what can we read in the documents?
Oath
I, Anatoly Tymoshchuk, after joining the service in the Ministry of the Interior, swear allegiance to the people of the Russian Federation. I swear to abide by the Constitution and Laws of the Russian Federation; respect and observe human rights and freedoms; faithfully carry out the orders of the superiors and the duties arising from the office. I swear to bear the hardships of service in internal affairs organs with dignity, to be an honest and courageous guardian of the law. I swear to be vigilant and to keep state and business secrets
“You have to judge it for yourself,” added Andrijuk. Some fans wonder why the Ukrainian journalist is publishing it only now, since he has had these photos for several years. Perhaps Andrijuk couldn’t verify this, so he kept it to himself. But Tymoszczuk’s recent behavior makes the suspicions justified.
He was also a public enemy in Russia
The irony of fate is that in 2015 (while he was still playing for the national team), Tymoshchuk was called a fascist, but by the Russian side. Together with a few of his teammates, he went to a hospital in Kiev, where soldiers wounded in the war in eastern Ukraine were treated. “He forgot who pays him”, “and if he doesn’t like it in Russia, he should go to Donbas and how his fascist countrymen kill children and old ladies” -.
