Memories from the last time England and Ukraine came together for football.
You'll be cheering for England again right, @DmytroKuleba?
Best of luck @England and @uafukraine today 🇬🇧🇺🇦 pic.twitter.com/4CwEsGkDFD— James Cleverly🇬🇧 (@JamesCleverly) March 26, 2023Advertisement:
Kuleba responded that if England wins, he will owe Cleverly a bottle of Ukrainian wine. If Ukraine wins, Cleverly will treat Kuleba to a bottle of English wine.
"All right, friend. May the best team win!" Cleverly replied in Ukrainian.
"Deal. And by the way, one day we will toast our shared Victory," Kuleba wrote in response.
The last time Kuleba and Cleverly watched football together was in Bucharest four months ago, when they were both attending a NATO ministerial meeting.
