SHULGA: “War in Ukraine? I hope everything is resolved as quickly as possible.”

Ukrainian player of Boston Celtics Maxim Shulga He talked about the war in Ukraine and being abroad while his loved ones were at home.

– About Ukraine. These are difficult times. How proud is it for you to represent Ukraine?

– To be honest, I don’t think deeply about this issue. My job is to play, do my best and help the team win. There is responsibility, but I concentrate on the game.

– You always played outside Ukraine during the war. How do you cope with having a family at home?

“It was very difficult at first, worrying every day, worrying about people at home, family and friends. I communicate with them, find out how they are.

I almost never look at the internet because you can’t trust everything. I get information from my mother and father, I try to feel what they feel every day.

But I can’t live worrying all the time. There is a balance between paying attention to the situation at home but not letting it disrupt my thoughts and concentration. There is a lot of uncertainty and I hope everything will be resolved as soon as possible.

Max Shulga previously talked about his personal development and recalled how he was selected in the 2025 draft.
