Man City’s Zinchenko to Putin: ’I hope you die the most painful death’

Manchester City defender Oleksandr Zinchenko has taken to social media – Instagram to bash Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Putin authorised the invasion of Ukraine on Thursday, which saw various cities attacked, and thousands of Russian troops entering the Eastern European country.

Zinchenko, a Ukraine international capped 48 times by his country, uploaded a photo of the Russian president on Instagram with the caption: “I hope you die the most painful suffering death, creature.”

The photo has since been deleted from his Instagram page. However, the left-back said the social media platform deleted the image.

Zinchencko has been vocal about the situation in his country and previously posted another photo on Wednesday. “The whole civilised world is worried about the situation in my country. I can’t stay away and try to convey my opinion. In the photo – my country,” he said.

“The country where I was born and raised. A country whose colours I defend in the international sports arena. A country that we try to glorify and develop.

“A country whose borders must remain inviolable. My country belongs to Ukrainians, and no one will ever be able to appropriate it. We will not give up! Glory to Ukraine.”
