"A terrorist state: Zabarnyi slams Russia without holding back" | OneFootball

Ilya Zabarnyi, a 23-year-old Ukrainian defender who joined Paris Saint-Germain this summer from Bournemouth, had already spoken out against Russia as the conflict with his country continues. This time, he shared a video of President Volodymyr Zelensky showing the damage from new bombings. The player added, "Russia is a terrorist state."

It's a strong message, which is not illogical as Zabarnyi sees his country suffering terrible attacks. We won't delve into a political debate, but it's understandable that the defender feels the need to express himself. It's a difficult situation to endure. There is also talk of potential tension at PSG with Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov (26 years old). Perhaps the latter will not appreciate this latest message from his teammate, even though he has not publicly spoken about the conflict.
