Former Ukraine captain, Andriy Shevchenko, has insisted that three towns, Bucha, Irpin and Hostomel, have been totally destroyed in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine.
Shevchenko said that there have been terrible bombings in Bucha, Irpin and Hostomel, adding that there are no buildings left in the areas.
The former Chelsea and AC Milan star also revealed that his mother and sister are under siege in Kyiv, after two weeks of continuous bombardment from Russian forces.
Speaking with Sky Sports News, Shevchenko said, “There have been a lot of battles.
“My mum and sister have now had some people move in with them, who were in terrible conditions.
“In Bucha, there is no food, no electricity. They’re friends of my sister and had been living underground in a basement for five days.
“There has been terrible bombing in that area. Bucha and nearby Irpin and Hostomel, I know these towns well, and they’ve been totally destroyed. There are no buildings left.
“I used to go to Bucha to train when I was a young player. It’s awful.”
He added, “The humanitarian corridors have been attacked by Russian soldiers. If my mother and sister tried to leave, I think it’d be more dangerous for them.”
