Well-known journalist Ruslan Svirin on his Facebook page commented on the situation with a fine from UEFA regarding the statements of the coach of the national team of Ukraine, Oleksandr Petrakov, regarding the war.
Ruslan Svyrin"UEFA continues to serve Russia. The information from Andrii Pavelek about Oleksandr Petrakov was a little overwhelming. I'm talking about the fine. Like, UAF for the honor of paying the UEFA fine for the unfair demands of the Russian Federation. Therefore, the hypocritical UEFA removes the Russian Federation from the competition due to the war with one hand to save face and to be in trend, and with the other it punishes the coach of the Ukrainian national team because of his daily statements.
That is, despite the declared break with Gazprom, Russian money continues to do its dirty business in the footballing top of Europe, which was waiting with bated breath for Kyiv to be taken in three days. And what did Petrakov say: "The enemy is coming to Kyiv, I am 64, but I see that I will have to take up arms and defend my home. I think I can kill two or three enemies."
But the Russians wanted his disqualification not for this, because at that time they could not talk about the war, but for the fact that Petrakov demanded the removal of their teams from all competitions, inciting enmity and discrimination. It is good that Petrakov stated that he would not retract his words under any circumstances. And UEFA is a currency scam," Svirin wrote.
