Junior Moraes, a forward for Shakhtar Donetsk, claims the squad is gathering waiting for a plan to leave the city in a video shot with their families from a hotel in Kyiv. The 34-year-old continues by describing the condition as “despair.”
Moraes also delivered an audio message, according to Quezada, saying, “Borders are blocked, banks [are closed], there is no gasoline, there will be a food crisis, there is no money.” We’ve collected in anticipation of a departure plan from Ukraine.”
“All friends and family, the situation is severe and we are stranded in Kiev waiting for a solution to get out,” Moraes said on his official Instagram page. We’re in a hotel room. Please pray for us.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin declared a’military operation’ in Ukraine on Thursday, warning that any foreign meddling would result in “consequences they have never seen.” Ukraine’s Foreign Minister described the development as a “full-scale invasion” and a “war of aggression,” adding that the nation will “defend itself and triumph.”
According to the Associated Press, Ukraine has imposed martial law after Russia initiated military operations in the region. According to reports, Russia’s defence ministry said that Ukraine’s air bases and military infrastructure had been neutralised. According to Reuters, Russian-backed rebels have taken control of two towns in Ukraine’s Luhansk area.
Meanwhile, US Vice President Joe Biden has slammed the decision, calling it a “unprovoked and unjustifiable” strike. On Thursday, he is likely to announce more penalties against Russia with the G7 leaders and allies.
