Brazil footballers in Ukraine plead for help to leave
RIO DE JANEIRO: A group of Brazilian footballers who play in Ukraine pleaded for help Thursday in leaving the country, saying Russia’s invasion had left them stranded in a Kiev hotel where they sought refuge. “There’s no fuel, the border is closed, the airspace is closed. There’s no way for us to get out,” said center-back Marlon in the video posted on Instagram, one of 13 Brazilians who play for Shakhtar Donetsk, one of Ukraine’s top clubs.
