‘The worst possible nightmare’: voices from Ukrainian football as war rages
On the day the war began, I was in Kyiv with my family. I have been injured recently, so could not train with the team. At 5am my young son awoke, and my wife got up to calm him.

They are foreigners and also have young families. We drove away from Kyiv together.
