I went up to shake hands, but Diman didn’t get up. I didn’t insist, because there were personal differences between us, and I realized that he wouldn’t shake hands. This has nothing to do with the game and the team. I respect Team Yandex, it was a worthy match.

Previously, DM and Dukalis played together for PARIVISION. At the end of January, Dorokhin left the team.
