United Rugby Championship outfit Zebre have played their part in the humanitarian effort fighting Russia's invasion of Ukraine after helping the families of players at a Kyiv club escape the country.
More than 1.5million refugees have fled Ukraine since Russian president Vladimir Putin ordered a full-scale invasion of the country on February 24, while more than 400 civilian deaths have been confirmed.
In an effort to help ease the crisis, Zebre confirmed on Monday that a coach sent by the Italian team had successfully evacuated 49 Ukrainian people to Parma, where the URC side are based.
