"I don't want to get involved in anything like that. I said I would come when there is peace. If there is no peace, I will not come," Lucescu commented on his decision not to go to Russia for the "Zenit" match.
He also noted that this was to some extent a sign of respect for Ukraine.
"I realized that it would cause a great resonance. As for Tymoshchuk, he is married to a Russian woman, he has children there. However, he played 140 matches (in fact 144 - ed.) for the national team of Ukraine," added Lucescu.
