Alexandr Dolgopolov is ready 

Alexandr reflected on the way he trained during those past few days. He was taught by some top professionals. However, he did maintain that he is not an expert but determined to save his land. 

The 33-year-old stated, “In just a few days, I and my Ukrainians completely destroyed the info world and no one in any free country had doubts about the truth and who is the aggressor. By that time I already started practicing shooting, and I was very lucky, that an ex-professional soldier taught me for 5-7 days. They were really happy to help, once they heard my goal, big thanks to our friends. I’m not Rambo in a week but quite comfortable with weapons.”
