Everton star Vitali Mykolenko has revealed the kind gesture Donny van de Beek has made to him amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
The pair both joined the Toffees during the January transfer window, with Mykolenko arriving on January 1 from Dynamo Kyiv, while Van de Beek joined on loan from Manchester United on deadline day. The midfielder is set to stay at Goodison Park until the end of the season.
Shortly after completing his move to Merseyside, Mykolenko’s home country was invaded by Russian forces, with the conflict still ongoing despite repeated calls for Vladimir Putin to call back his troops. Since the invasion took place, there have been a number of demonstrations of solidarity with the people of Ukraine at Premier League games.
