Today, Shakhtar Dontsk’s most capped player and stalwart of the Croatian national team Darijo Srna joins us from leafy west London. But his life and that of his football club have been anything but peaceful.
Almost a year on from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Shakhtar Donetsk’s sporting director talk to Kate bout escaping Kyiv, why FIFA are destroying the Ukrainian league, and what football can mean right now in a time of conflict.
