Shakhtar Director General Sergei Palkin called "lying" the ban on ATU soldiers' children wearing patriotic shirts during the match against Olimpic,.

According to the organizer of the action of the Football Federation of the ATU participants, the "miners" even threatened that they would not go to the match if the T-shirts were worn by children.

After that there was information that during the matches of the 1/4 finals of the Cup of Ukraine all clubs will take part in the action from the FFU and the Ministry of Defense on the Day of the Ukrainian Army.

"Two days before the match with Olimpic, the Club received an official letter from the Football Federation of Ukraine about the action in support of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the cup match against Veres, at which children will have to wear T-shirts to support the soldiers of the Armed Forces. "Shakhtar" on the same day confirmed his consent to participate.

Proceeding from the above, we had no logical grounds to forbid children to wear T-shirts for the match against Olimpic. Why make a ban on this match, but agree to hold a rally in three days? !!.

The ban on wearing T-shirts is just as impudent as lying and allegedly a "threat" of not going out to the match. Any sane person understands - not an output on a match is a technical defeat. Get 3: 0 - in the middle of the championship, do you seriously believe in this nonsense? "- wrote Palkin.

He added that a lot of money was spent on this topic. Who - subtly hints "A lot of money was spent to" disperse "this topic with headlines in which the main emphasis is on children and ATO. Proplacheny publications, made a throw into the social network and all in order to get away from the topic of Mariupol. And who cares, we all understand perfectly, "- he summed up.

In the meantime, the players of "Dinamo" visited injured fighters of ATU in the hospital in Kiev.
