Manchester City footballer Oleksandr Zinchenko is urging people to carry on speaking out against Russian attacks on Ukraine, in order to save innocent Ukrainian children.

Russia first invaded Ukraine on February, 24, and have destroyed several cities since with the death toll continuing to rise everyday.

The 25-year-old defender took to Instagram to encourage support from his 1.6 million followers, to help stop the ongoing war which has led to many civilian and children's deaths.

'I'm not only a Ukrainian football player, but also a Ukrainian citizen,' he told his Instagram followers.
