“They definitely see everything about me on Instagram. Especially in the first months, when I am in Instagram stories every day posted videos and photos about the war and wrote in posts what and how it was happening. But there was no reaction from them. I know for sure that they watched and saw it, discussed it among themselves, but everyone is silent. They are slaves and weaklings, dependent on their the government that pays their salaries. That is, buys them.
If they are addicted to it and their actions show it, then they have been bought. You can be an athlete on a salary, but that does not mean that you are silent and push tongue in one place. They they don't see what they can do, because they are not being attacked, so they are okay. They don't care about that. They may express some concern, but I don't believe in their sincerity,” Horuna said in an interview with XSPORT.
