On 31 January 2017, Zozulya joined Rayo Vallecano on loan until the end of the season. His arrival was met with protests from the club's fans, unhappy over his purported far-right links after a picture of him wearing a shirt with the Tryzub and lyrics of poet Taras Shevchenko was misinterpreted as featuring the logo of the Right Sector. Zozulya vehemently denied any such links in an open letter to Rayo's fans, declaring that he has only assisted the legitimate Ukrainian army during the Russian military intervention in Ukraine.[5][6] On 1 February 2017, Zozulya had his contract cancelled due to the reactions of Rayo fans and returned to Betis.[7] This meant that he could not play anymore in the 2016–17 season because the Royal Spanish Football Federation rules say players cannot register for more than two teams in one campaign

On 8 September 2017, free agent Zozulya signed a one-year contract with Albacete Balompié.[8] On 25 March 2019 more harassment Zozulya endured during away game of Albacete against CD Lugo when the fans of latter sang chants at Zozulya explicitly wishing him death for supporting the Nazi political movement.[9] The fans of Albacete requested La Liga seriously punish Lugo for that. Zozulya received the best player award of the month October 2019, based on the fans' votes.[10]. On 15 December 2019 the game between Rayo Vallecano and Albacete was abandoned by the referee, after abuse and threats from the home fans. [11]

He's not a Nazi. He's supporting the Ukrainian Army who are defending their country from Putin's jackbooted thugs.
