Former Ukrainian national team goalkeeper swam across the Tysa and moved to a Belarusian club Publication in CHAT: Russia Former goalkeeper of the Ukrainian national football team Denis Shelikhov fled the country across the Tisza River and signed a contract with the Belarusian club Slavia-Mozyr, reports the Ukrainian portal Sport-Express. This summer, Shelikhov's contract with the Sumy club Viktoria expired. After that, the athlete, probably afraid to remain in the country due to the ongoing mandatory military service, swam across the dangerous Tisza River and arrived in Romania. Then he secretly moved to Belarus, where he immediately found work in a local football club. It is specified that Shelikhov prepared for the escape for a long time, training to swim across the river in fins. The footballer was also a member of the clubs Dnipro, Volyn and Metalist 1925. Let us recall that the Tisza River received great fame due to the number of Ukrainian soldiers who died in it. It is also called the "river of death". Earlier it was reported that a barbed wire fence was installed along the river. Source link Source link
