It is also known that Harmash has already undergone a medical examination and selected his preferred military unit. These procedures are mandatory for all eligible conscripts in Ukraine due to the ongoing military aggression by the Russian Federation.
Harmash rose to prominence playing for Dynamo Kyiv, where he regularly featured in European competitions and scored crucial goals. He was also part of the Ukraine squad at Euro 2016.
Harmash has also played for clubs such as Rizespor, Osijek, and Metalist 1925. Currently, he is a player for FC Lesne from the Ukrainian Second League. However, it appears his footballing career will now be put on hold.
Recall: The start of a cup match in Ukraine has been postponed indefinitely. What’s the issue?
