Younes Belhanda, the Moroccan midfielder playing for Dynamo Kyiv in Ukraine, found himself caught up in the tense situation during the recent events in the country. Amid the clashes between demonstrators, police, and special forces, Belhanda expressed his desire to visit Independence Square, also known as Maidan Square, the epicenter of the protests.
Despite the warnings about the presence of snipers on rooftops, Belhanda refrained from venturing into the square, opting instead to follow the developments closely through news coverage on French channels.
Describing the atmosphere in the capital, Belhanda mentioned the presence of looters and demonstrators armed with hunting rifles at the airport, indicating the prevailing sense of suspicion among the people.
The events in Maidan Square have been pivotal in the protests in Ukraine, with several casualties reported among demonstrators, particularly students. Despite the recent return to calm, the impact of the protests continues to reverberate throughout the country.
