Oleksandr Zinchenko broke down in tears during an emotional press conference before the Manchester City star and his Ukraine teammates get down to business against Scotland.
While the Russian invasion of his homeland continues, Zinchenko and the Ukraine national side are set to take on the Tartan Army at Hampden Park tonight (Wednesday, 7.45pm). The winner of that showdown will meet Wales for a last place in the 2022 Qatar World Cup finals this winter.
Russian troops are still on the ground in Ukraine having launched an invasion in February. Since then, pretty much the entire world — including NATO members — have rallied together in support of Ukraine.
