Fans of Zhytomyr's Polesye published on social networks an appeal to the Ukrainian football authorities to disqualify for life their former player Andriy Sakhnyevych, incidentally, a pupil of Dynamo Kiev.
"A 34-year-old Ukrainian from Zhytomyr, Andriy Sakhnevich, a former Polesye player, betrayed his homeland during the full-time war and left for Russia by signing a contract with a football club from the Perm region.
Today he continues to make money in the aggressor country without changing his citizenship or condemning the war, he supports the killing of Ukrainians and justifies the crimes of Putin and his army.
We call on the Ukrainian Football Association to ban this athlete from any football activities in Ukraine for life. And as for his return to Zhytomyr, only in the black package!"- the statement reads.
