“I could no longer work in the country that is bombing my homeland. Stop that son of a b*tch Putin, help the refugees. And send weapons so we can defend ourselves. I’m so proud of our country. We have beautiful cities, great people. We will keep fighting. And we will win. But the price is so high. All the dead… We live in the year 2022 and not in WWII…”

The former Liverpool player has seemed refuge in Germany after making his way out of Moscow. He has expressed his desire to help his homeland as they struggle to control the brute invasion by Russia.
