"There’s no fuel, the border is closed, the airspace is closed. There’s no way for us to get out," said FC Shakhtar Donetsk‘s Marlon Santos said, via the New York Post. "We are really desperate. We are going through chaos."

Santos continued: "The desperation is agonizing. We wait for the support from our country. We speak in the name of all the Brazilians in Ukraine."

"We are asking for help on behalf of our children," the woman said in the video. "We are not involved in this conflict, it doesn’t have anything to do with us."
