Paulo Fonseca describes harrowing 30-hour escape from Ukraine

Former Roma and Shakhtar Donetsk manager Paulo Fonseca has described how he spent over a day in an underground bunker before a 30-hour drive to escape from the invasion of Ukraine.

Fonseca, who was close to being named as Tottenham’s manager in the summer, cut short a holiday in the Maldives to return to Ukraine – the nation of his wife’s birth – shortly ahead of the Russian invasion last week to help her family escape the country.

However, hours before they were due to leave their Kyiv apartment, the 48-year-old was awoken in the middle of the night by the sound of missiles hitting the Ukrainian capital.

A rapid attempt to leave the city followed but was soon cut short by gridlock around the main roads – and instead, the family headed east when he was contacted by the sporting director of Shakhtar, Dario Srna, who suggested returning to Donetsk to take shelter.

  1. My colleague who's gf is a Ukrainian has said half of Ukraine are praying putin wins due to ukraine being run by the Maffian warlords.

    We only hear what western media want us too

  2. Don't listen to the lies that try to demonize Chinese people. All Chinese people are peace loving people and against any legal invasive wars. If some "Chinese" support Putin's evil war, they are fake Chinese.
