The football club expressed its condolences to Oleksandr's family and promised to provide details about the funeral arrangements later.

Currently, there are no official reports regarding the circumstances of his death.

Oleksandr's aunt, Elena, revealed that the family believes he was brutally killed by acquaintances.

«Sasha was a vibrant young man, full of dreams and ambitions, but he was cruelly taken from us by his «friends» in Berlin. His mother wasn't even allowed to see her son’s body, and instead, they took a DNA test. These inhumane individuals are trying their best to evade responsibility for their crime… It’s a horrific tragedy for a loving mother!», – she wrote.
