They follow the lead of certain political decisions and considerations with the consent of Ukraine.
Of course, this is a provocation on the part of Ukraine.
But, you know, no matter how much you say "halva", your mouth will not become sweeter.
No matter how much you draw such maps, it will not bring Crimea closer to Ukraine, ”he said in an interview with RT.
According to him, it "looks ridiculous" and shows the low level of Ukrainian footballers, at least those who lead them.
“The fact that the form says“ Glory to Ukraine!
Glory to heroes!"
tantamount to the greetings “Heil Hitler!
Sieg Heil ".
This is how we evaluated the cries of Ukrainian nationalists even before 2014.
From this point of view, UEFA's statement is again surprising.
But this is UEFA, such European countries that say one thing, but do something completely different.
There is no need for us to answer that.
We have already said, they heard, but did not react.
Therefore, we draw the appropriate conclusions, ”he added.
Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Physical Culture, Sports, Tourism and Youth Affairs Sergey Krivonosov spoke about the decision of UEFA in the form of the Ukrainian national team.
