The former Östersund and Kalmar player had as recently as January signed for the Ukrainian club Tjornomorets Odessa when the war broke out just over three weeks ago.
However, he managed to get away from the country, and is now back on Swedish soil.
"You had to be armed"
In this week's "Carina Bergfeldt" he talks about the nasty experience.
- All the information we received was that Odessa was one of the cities that Putin wanted.
Bombs had already landed and the information was that there were two Russian ships on their way to the city, until the Russians landed and were on their way here, he says, and tells that he wanted to arm himself:
- It turned out that you had to be armed.
100 meters away there was a "gun range" where you could go and get weapons.
