Benfica has been closely following the events in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, in recent days, after a Russian attack hit, among other targets, the apartment of Georgiy Sudakov, where his wife and daughter were present. On social media, the number 10 revealed that everyone came out unscathed.
Hours after the attack, a consequence of the Russian invasion that has been ongoing in Ukraine since February 2022, the new number 10 of the Eagles shared some images on his official Telegram account, showing the damage caused by the missiles launched by the neighboring country.
At the time of the attack, Liza Sudakova, who is eight months pregnant, and the couple’s daughter were at home; however, both escaped unharmed and are currently out of danger. In the video shared, Sudakov left a message for everyone following the situation: “A horrible night. A bombing in our own home. Thank God we are all alive. Surreal.”
On the same day, the newspaper Record reported that Benfica was constantly monitoring the situation and in constant contact with the player, in order to provide all necessary assistance. The same source adds that the Eagles are already preparing the processes to help the player’s family travel to Portugal.
