Chelsea have issued a statement "praying for peace" in Ukraine while describing the current situation in the country as "horrific and devastating".
Russia launched a full-scale military invasion of Ukraine last week on the orders of President Vladimir Putin.
A number of sporting events have been impacted by the crisis, including the Champions League final, and football clubs and players across Europe have come out to call for peace amid the rising death toll in Ukraine.

The statement comes directly after the news that Roman Abramovic had passed the "stewardship" of Chelsea to the club's charitable foundation.
In a statement on February 26, Abramovich said: "I have always taken decisions with the club's best interest at heart.
"I remain committed to these values. That is why I am today giving trustees of Chelsea's charitable Foundation the stewardship and care of Chelsea FC.
"I believe that currently they are in the best position to look after the interests of the club, players, staff, and fans."
Elsewhere in the Premier League, Everton and Manchester City supporters united to pledge their support to the Ukrainian people before their clash at Goodison Park, with defender Oleksandr Zinchenko moved to tears by the tribute.
Anti-war messages were also sent at other clubs across England, including at Old Trafford as Manchester United and Watford players held up a banner with the word peace displayed in numerous different languages.
