Shakhtar Donetsk: Football club has lost its home again. Now it tours Europe raising money for war effort in Ukraine
CNN
When Russia began its invasion of Ukraine on the morning of February 24, Darijo Srna was awoken at 6 a.m. by the sound of air raid sirens.
It was a noise the former international football star says immediately transported his "head and body" back to his native Croatia, where he lived as an eight-year-old when war broke out in what was then Yugoslavia.
So when his football club Shakhtar Donetsk was forced to leave Kyiv, the city that had been one of the team's many temporary bases since 2014, at the start of Russia's invasion, it was unfortunately a scenario Srna was all too familiar with.
