The recent Russian rocket attacks against several Ukrainian cities make the FCK player react.

Ahead of FCK's meeting with Manchester City in the Champions League, Khocholava addressed the war in Ukraine and the latest Russian terrorist bombings.

- Today we woke up to news that shocked me.

We were actually a bit calmer about the situation because the Ukrainians have been doing very well on the front line.

But the Russian cowards have started bombing civilian buildings.

They panic that they can't get anything done at the front line, so they just try to kill as many civilians as possible, Khocholava told the Ritzau news agency.

The Georgian is married to a Ukrainian woman and said in March that his father-in-law died fighting Russian forces.

Before David Khocholava came to Copenhagen, where he is a teammate of Swedish national team midfielder Viktor Claesson, the centre-back played for Shakhtar Donetsk in the Ukrainian league.

FCK is last in its group in the Champions League, with one point recorded after three matches.

Manchester City lead ahead of Dortmund and Sevilla.

FCK play at home against City on Tuesday evening.
