A number of EU countries are preparing a diplomatic boycott for the World Football Championship in Russia, which will be held from June 14 to July 15.

This was written on his Twitter page on the Brussels correspondent of Radio Liberty Ricard Jozwiak.

"We will witness the announcement by a number of EU countries of a diplomatic boycott of the 2018 World Cup in Russia," he said..

According to Jozvjak, also members of the European Union on the eve of the European Council summit in June will hold detailed talks on extending economic sanctions against Russia for a year instead of six months. Recall that earlier the British government refused to go to Russia to support the national team because of the poisoning of the former Russian intelligence agent Sergei Skripal. At the same time, the England team is not going to ignore the tournament.

Also about the possible boycott of the World Cup 2018, the Scandinavian countries started talking in the USA.
