The war worries of a Ukrainian biathlon ace

“The whole team and I, we constantly think about our friends and family in Ukraine. We are very worried because the war simply continues," said the 30-year-old on Saturday on ARD: "I haven't spoken to many comrades for a long time. Not a day goes by that I don’t pray that I can see her again.” Pidrutschnji had spent almost three months at the front since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression , but has since been exempted from military service. He is currently taking part with his national team in the Summer World Ski Championships in Ruhpolding, Bavaria, and is racing for victories again after a forced break of months. “People should see that we can fight, that we have not fallen down, that we have a lot of mental strength,” said Pidrubinji, adding: “When the Ukrainian flag is flying above, that is the best thing for us.” Ski hunters in military service At the end of last winter, the Ukrainian ski hunters no longer competed in the World Cup because they all had to do military service. From the end of November, the team should be represented as completely as possible in the World Cup season. As a former world champion in pursuit, Pidrutschnji is the head of the team. He attracted a lot of attention at the beginning of the war because he emotionally reported his impressions of the front on social media.
