Former Chelsea striker and Ukraine legend Andriy Shevchenko has opened up on how the devastating effect of Russia ’s invasion on his country has left him unable to utter Vladimir Putin ’s name.
Russia began advancing into the eastern European nation late in February as Putin declared war, claiming his desire was to eradicate nazism from Ukraine. Bombs have been dropped on cities such as Kyiv, Mariupol and Kherson in their bid to occupy the cities.
President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed last week that around 1,300 of his troops had lost their lives during the conflict during a news briefing, although the loss of life for Russian soldiers is thought to be much higher.
