Ukrainian journalist Dmitry Gordon admitted that because of the World Cup in Russia, he finally lost faith in justice. He said this on the air of channel 112. ua. Gordon repeatedly told that in Russia the World Cup will not take place, and after his forecast did not come true, he decided to tell everyone why it did not happen. According to the journalist, he spoke with such confidence about the boycott of World Cup 2018 by Western countries because of the events in Ukraine and Syria, as this information came to him through the channels of British intelligence and the United States. The same thing was allegedly confirmed to him by "very serious sources in the Russian Federation". Gordon believes that Russia was preparing for the fact that the World Cup will be boycotted, so no expert opinion of the Ukrainian journalist was surprised. He also named certain events, which, in his opinion, confirm this. Among them, he called a doping scandal, a ban on holding major international competitions in Russia, as well as the case in Salisbury. "A few months before the World Cup there was a poisoning of the Violins. Britain called for a boycott of the World Cup, "Gordon recalled.. The question arises whether the Ukrainian journalist hints at the fact that behind the incident with the Violins are the Western authorities, who in this way wanted to take Russia's mundial from us? How did it happen that the 2018 World Cup was opened in Moscow? Gordon believes that Putin bought everyone:

"Generally bought agents of influence, politics, including the first echelon". The journalist specified that bribery is not always carried out by money: it can be preferences, and, for example, participation in business. As a result, Gordon agreed to the fact that Trump is afraid of Putin - otherwise why would he invite Russia to the G8. It remains to add that earlier Gordon had predicted that the Donbass and the Crimea would return to Ukraine. It seems that the gift of foresight is not the strongest side of the journalist.
