Well-known Ukrainian TV commentator Viktor Vatsko spoke about the complete inaction of the UAF in football issues of protecting Ukraine in the conditions of the war with the Russian Federation.
“The story of the antics of the Fenerbahce fans, who, in the matches against Dynamo, suddenly became lovers of matryoshka dolls, balalaikas and the Orkofuhrer, is it not a matter of image, political significance that is relevant right now?
Wouldn't it be right for the UAF to create patronage for the Ukrainian club in this matter at the level of public opinion in Europe and at the level of the UEFA disciplinary committee? It seems to me that it is very correct.
Why is it that none of the Ukrainian football leaders anywhere in the European, world media puts pressure on FIFA, which sold pig dogs the rights to broadcast the 2022 World Cup in Qatar? Why is no one from UEFA putting pressure on UEFA, which has not terminated the contract for broadcasting European Cup matches in Orkostan?
Shouldn't the leadership of our football with all its resources (I mean the factor of membership in the UEFA executive committee) deal with these issues, lobby for the interests of Ukraine and destroy the interests of our enemy on this front? That's important. Isn't this a struggle for the interests of our country in its place?" Vacko said on the air of his author's program on Youtube.
