Ex-Liverpool striker Andriy Voronin leaves Dynamo Moscow due to Ukraine invasion

Former Liverpool striker Andriy Voronin has left his job as assistant coach at Dynamo Moscow and moved away from Russia after Vladimir Putin sanctioned an invasion of Ukraine.

Voronin, who was born in Odessa, made 74 appearances for his country as a footballer - and has said he would fight in the war, if he was in his homeland.

The 42-year-old left Russia with his wife and children as well as his father and mother-in-law, after Vladimir Putin began an invasion of Ukraine last Thursday.
