FIFPRO, the global footballers' union, announced that two Ukrainian footballers, 21-year-old Vitalii Sapylo and 25-year-old Dmytro Martynenko, have been killed in Kyiv amid Ukraine-Russia war. Sapylo is said to have died in Kyiv last Friday after joining the army as a tank commander, while Martynenko was reportedly killed after Russian bombs hit his home in an apartment block.
