As you may well be aware, Shakhtar Donetsk are currently playing their home games in the western Ukrainian city of Lviv – some 1,200-odd miles west of their home at the Donbass Arena stadium – due to the ongoing conflicts in the east of the country.
Indeed, the city of Donetsk itself is tantamount to a war-zone as things stand, with the Donbass Arena having been damaged by shelling several times over the course of the past few months.
The club have also shifted their administrative headquarters and training HQ to Kiev to escape the turmoil, though they haven’t forgotten the people they’ve left behind – with captain Darijo Srna orchestrating a drive to get 20 tonnes of tangerines delivered from his hometown in Croatia to the thousands of innocent schoolkids still trapped in war-torn Donetsk.
Such a great person and a great player..Was linked with Chelsea and other top clubs but decided to stay at Shakhtar
