		</div><p>Brazilian football players from Ukraine’s two biggest clubs have issued an appeal to the Brazilian government, saying they are trapped by the Russian military attack on Ukraine.</p>
<p>A group of players from Shakhtar Donetsk and Dynamo Kyiv posted a video together with their families from a hotel where they called for support from the Brazilian authorities, joined by Uruguayan player Carlos de Pena of Dynamo.</p>
<p>They said the borders were closed and fuel supplies had run out.</p>
<p>“We are really desperate. We are going through chaos,” Shakhtar defender Marlon Santos wrote on Instagram&#8221;</p>
<p>“We have the support from our club. But the desperation is agonising. We wait for the support from our country. We speak in the name of all the Brazilians in Ukraine.”</p>
<p>Similar messages were posted by Brazilian players living elsewhere in Ukraine, including by forward Marlyson and two teammates from Metalist 1925 in the north-eastern city of Kharkiv, near the Russian border, and three players from Zorya Luhansk, a club based in the southern city of Zaporizhzhia.</p>
<p>The Ukrainian league was suspended indefinitely on Thursday after martial law was declared in Ukraine.</p>
<p>Ukrainian clubs have long recruited Brazilian players to boost their performance on the field and to make a profit in the transfer market.</p>
<p>Up-and-coming Brazilian players often see the Ukrainian league as a shop window to show off their skills to clubs in Europe’s biggest leagues, especially if they play for Champions League regulars Shakhtar and Dynamo.</p>
<p>Shakhtar lists 11 Brazilian players in its first-team squad and another, Junior Moraes, who is a naturalised Ukrainian citizen.</p>
<p>Shakhtar and Zorya were both founded in cities in eastern Ukraine but have not been able to play there since Russia-backed separatists took over their home cities in 2014.</p>
