Andriy Shevchenko has paid tribute to Arsenal star Oleksandr Zinchenko for continuing to speak out against Russia ’s brutal invasion of Ukraine.
Shevchenko, 45, has been working with Arsenal ’s new £30million signing to raise money for the war effort in their homeland. Zinchenko has spoken out several times to condemn Russia’s aggression - and Shevchenko believes sport can play a role in helping to restore the peace.
He said: “Oleks has stood up, he has spoken out and expressed his very hard views against the war. He loves Ukraine and the people and we have done a lot of activities together.
