A group of Brazilian players who play in Ukrainian football teams did not board the trains announced by the Brazilian embassy to leave Kiev, the country’s capital. The athletes published a video in which they explain the difficulties in leaving the hotel in which they are allocated.
The player Maycon, from Shakhtar Donetsk, explains that the train transport was provided by the embassy, but as the region is being attacked and traveling to the train would not be safe, they decided to stay at the hotel. “We would have to walk a kilometer with children, the elderly and everyone who is here. We would not have transportation or embassy support to get to the train location safely.”
Another player from the same club reports that the situation at the hotel is also difficult. “The lack of food, diapers and milk has increased, and we don’t have a solution”, says Marlon.
THE CNN contacted Itamaraty about the situation of the players, but has not yet received a response.
understand the conflict
After months of military escalation and intemperance on the Ukrainian border, Russia attacked the Eastern European country. At dawn this Thursday (24), Russian forces began to bomb several regions of the country – follow the repercussion live on CNN.
Hours earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin authorized a “special military operation” in the Donbas region (eastern Ukraine, where the breakaway regions of Luhansk and Donetsk are located, which he recognized as independent).
What was seen in the following hours, however, was an attack on almost the entire Ukrainian territory, with explosions in several cities, including the capital Kiev.
According to Ukrainian officials, dozens of deaths have been confirmed in the armies of both countries.
In his speech before the attack, Putin justified the action by saying that Russia could not “tolerate threats from Ukraine”. Putin urged Ukrainian soldiers to “put down your weapons and go home”. The Russian leader further stated that he will not accept any kind of foreign interference.
This attack on the former Soviet neighbor threatens to destabilize Europe and involve the United States.
