Manchester City star Oleksandr Zinchenko also raised his displeasure with the situation on Instagram. He wrote, “The whole civilized world is worried about the situation in my country. I can’t stay away and try to convey my opinion. In the photo – my country. The country where I was born and raised. A country whose colors I defend in the international sports arena. A country that we try to glorify and develop. A country whose borders must remain inviolable. My country belongs to Ukrainians and no one will ever be able to appropriate it. We will not give up! Glory to Ukraine.”

On Wednesday night, Ukraine’s international footballer Roman Yaremchuk scored the equalizer for Benfica in a Champions League match and removed his shirt to display his nation’s coat of arms amid Russian escalation in his homeland.
