Kharkiv volunteer Yuriy Sapronov handed over a gift from Inter Miami star striker Lionel Messi to the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Valerii Zaluzhnyi, a signed T-shirt.

Sapronov wrote about it on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

"...I handed Valerii Fedorovych (Zaluzhnyi – ed.) a T-shirt from a game, with Messi's signature. When I was in Miami, I naturally attended Inter Miami games, and thanks to our Serhiy Kryvtsov (Messi’s Ukrainian teammate in Inter Miami - ed.), I, of course, made it to their training. Leo respectfully signed," wrote Sapronov.
