Ex-Ukraine striker Andriy Shevchenko called on Thursday for more aid and other measures in support of victims of the Russian invasion of his homeland. Widely regarded as his country's greatest ever player, Shevchenko said global football authorities had done the right thing in banning Russia from international competitions, though the sport was currently the last thing on his mind. "We have refugees, we need humanitarian aid. We need medical support, food support...," Shevchenko, who won 111 caps for Ukraine during a stellar carrier that included stints at some of the world's top clubs, told Sky Sports. Shevchenko, who is currently based in London, said he had contemplated going home.
