“We all understand that football is not the most important thing now in Ukraine,” Ukraine head coach Sergiy Rebrov tells CNN Sport.
“But I think our successful performance in Europe gives our people in Ukraine positive emotions.
“Before [the war], when you’re fighting on the pitch, you are thinking only about the result.
The team hopes to provide Ukraine with some respite from the war during the tournament.
“Everybody from Ukraine […] is trying to help each other, trying to help our defenders, trying to help the volunteers,” Rebrov says.
