President of the so-called. The RPL, a certain Alexander Alaev, complained about FIFA and UEFA in the context of Crimean football.

- Over the past 8 years, Crimea has been a special area for the development of UEFA football. Unfortunately, now we can state that our colleagues from FIFA and UEFA have not done anything to develop football. We had a dialogue, we came to certain decisions. But, unfortunately, on February 24, the dialogue ended. He recently recovered, these are informal negotiations.

If colleagues from FIFA and UEFA failed to fulfill the task of developing football in Crimea, organizations and ministries in Russia should do this. I am sure that Crimean football will be integrated in the near future. But it is important not to burn bridges. We need to maintain a dialogue with UEFA and FIFA, not to issue ultimatums. Termination of relations with FIFA and UEFA will greatly affect our football,” said the SE official.

Vorskla fans made a statement about the signing of Andrii Kravchuk, who previously played for Moscow Torpedo.

"The other day, Vorskla announced the transfer to Andriy Kravchuk's club. A player who until recently played in Torpedo from Moscow.

At a time when the war continues for the ninth year and dozens of people from our stands in various units of the Armed Forces defend Ukraine from the encroachments of Muscovites, and others actively help in the rear and provide for our boys, the club allows itself to sign players from, to put it mildly, dubious reputation.

We condemn the actions of every employee of the club who allowed this person to appear in the team. We will not tolerate any player for whom bloody rubles are more valuable than the pride and honor of being Ukrainian.

Shame on those who facilitated or with whose tacit consent this player appeared in Vorskla. Andrei, get out, you are not happy here!" - says the statement.

The Desna ultras reacted to the transfer of the former defender of the team Alexander Masalov to the Russian Ufa. Representatives of the fan movement burned the found Russian passport of Masalov and turned to the football player.

- We declare that we will make every effort so that this monster named Alexander Masalov in the future will in no way be involved in football in the country at any level. It’s even hard for us to imagine what kind of a *** you need to be in order to go to play in Russia after all the destruction that our hometown, our stadium, our club has suffered.

Dear Mr. *** n-Masalov, we are burning this fucking piece of paper that you received from the occupiers. Although we know that it has no value. And you can still lick a few rashist asses without any problems and get a new one. Let the secret services deal with shit like you. And we send you our warm regards. Mountains in hell, traitor. Together with his new shit club, together with his new homeland,” said the representative of the ultras.

As already reported, the transfer of the Ukrainian midfielder of Manchester City Oleksandr Zinchenko to the London Arsenal is at the final stage of approval. According to media reports, the amount of this transfer will be 35 million euros.

If the transfer of Zinchenko really takes place, then part of the amount of this transfer (about 300 thousand euros, if we are really talking about 35 million euros of compensation) will go to Ufa, from which the Ukrainian moved to Manchester City in 2016. According to the terms of that transition, the Russian club is entitled to a percentage of the further sale of a football player. This was announced by the General Director of Ufa Shamil Gazizov.

“We will be entitled to solidarity payments in the event of the transfer of Zinchenko. The amount is calculated very easily. I think it will be about 300 thousand euros. But I haven't counted for sure yet.

This is how it's done officially. We will make a request if Zinchenko transfers. We will have to pay. But now, due to sanctions, it will be difficult to transfer money. In England, solidarity payments are sent through the federation: clubs pay her, and she pays us, ”RB Gazizov quotes.

The Ukrainian midfielder of the Samara "Wings of the Soviets" Dmitry Ivanisenya, despite the ongoing war of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, works for the benefit of Russian football as if nothing had happened.

Yesterday, the 28-year-old football player got into the starting lineup of Krylia Sovetov for the away match with Orenburg (4:2) in the 1st round of the Russian Championship and spent all 90 minutes of the game on the field.

Recall that Ivanisenya has been playing for the Russian club since last summer.

The Croatian defender of Zenit Dejan Lovren, who wished to continue playing in his club despite the removal of Russian clubs from European competitions and FIFA's permission to suspend his contract for a whole year, spoke about the pressure on him.

“I had no doubts whether to return to Russia. I immediately assured the club management that I would stay at Zenit. I signed a three-year contract with the club with one more season left.

But the situation is very difficult, including for me. There is a lot of pressure on me, and some people want me to leave here. I don't like it, because everything that happens today is neither my fault nor Zenit's fault. I have nothing against Russia, I was well received here, I have good friends here, ”Match TV quotes Lovren.
