According to the source, at today's UEFA Executive Committee, officials were unable to find a technical solution that would allow Russian teams to return to competitions under the auspices of UEFA.

The reason is the huge number of refusals from many members of European football to play with Russian teams.

Earlier, UEFA and FIFA made a scandalous decision to return the Russian U-17 teams to the competition.
