Illia Zabarnyi, the Ukrainian defender of Paris Saint-Germain, continues to use his platform to support his country at war. On Instagram, where he has 280,000 followers, the 23-year-old shared a video from President Volodymyr Zelensky showing the destruction caused by new overnight bombings — adding a clear message of his own: “Russia is a terrorist state.”
Highly committed, Zabarnyi regularly posts images and videos of attacks on Ukraine. Seen as one of the most patriotic players in the national team, he believes he has a “duty to set an example.” In 2024, he even admitted he had considered returning to fight before deciding: “Ukrainians need me to speak to the world.”
His words are backed up by action. Zabarnyi actively supports United Collection, a fundraising campaign aimed at buying drones and helping the families of supporters killed on the frontline.
A rare and powerful stance in modern football, and one he fully embraces.
