Club Dynamo (Kyiv) urges football officials to transfer the match from Mariupol to the city of Donetsk to another city, as mass meetings in the front-line city are dangerous for football players and fans.

Such positions are also held in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Security Service and the Department of State Security. However, the Ukrainian Football Federation and the Ukrainian Premier League do not react to warnings. This is stated in the TSN program. 19:30.

Team "Mariupol" - the former "Ilyichevsk" - from the new season again plays in the Ukrainian Premier League - this is the most prestigious tournament in Ukrainian football. August 27 at a local stadium scheduled match "Mariupol" - "Dynamo" (Kiev). However, the arena is located 20 kilometers from the front, and in the city itself there is a "red level" of the threat of terrorist attacks, that is, the highest of all possible. Therefore, the club "Dynamo" decided not to risk the life and health of football players and fans, offered to move the match to a neutral place.

"Given the terrorist risks, given the level of threat under the color" red, "the holding of matches in Mariupol is currently not safe for competitors, it is not safe for viewers, including for visitors," Communication.

In support of his words, the vice-president of "Dynamo" demonstrates letters from three structures at once: the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Security Service and the State Security Administration.

In the SBU they say that only in July two terrorist acts were prevented, but their threat did not pass. And because of matches law enforcement officers receive anonymous calls with threats of a terrorist nature.

Once again we focus your attention on the fact that holding soccer matches in the city of Mariupol is dangerous and threatens the lives of participants in sporting events, primarily of a terrorist nature. We note that in accordance with paragraphs 7, 11, 62 of the FIFA Rules. Recommendations of law enforcement agencies and special services are mandatory for consideration and accounting of football associations, "- said in an address by the deputy chairman of the Security Service Viktor Kononenko.

However, neither the Football Federation of Ukraine, nor the Premier League has yet transferred the match. And it was already scheduled to be held at 5:00 pm.

Chairman of the Football Federation Andrei Pavelko comments TSN avoids. But on the official page of the federation posted a message that the police guarantees the safety of matches in Mariupol. In confirmation - the letter of Vyacheslav Abroskin, even when he was the head of the Donetsk regional police. However, in the "Dynamo" drew attention to the fact that the date on the letter - prudently faded, and note that the letter is obsolete, Abroskin is already working in Kiev, and has another thought. In particular, since then he has already made claims to the Mariupol club for organizing the security of one of the matches, which they even thought of repealing: 70 metal detectors were forced to march to Mariupol, police officers and the Security Service guarded the stadium for three days.

Now Abroskin calls not to manipulate his old letter, but listen to the recommendations of the new regional police leaders and other responsible persons. These people - in particular, in the Ministry of Internal Affairs - literally the day before yesterday made public new warnings - here and on the "red level", and that by the Independence Day there are increasing threats of shelling, in particular, with salvo fire systems.

"Given the real state of threats, holding a football match of the seventh round of the Premier League draw at the stadium" Ilyichevets "in the city of Mariupol, we consider inexpedient and suggest urgently to consider the issue of changing the venue," - said in a letter signed by First Deputy Interior Minister Sergei Yarovoi.

"Dynamo" proposes to hold a match with Mariupol, either in Kiev, or in any Ukrainian city - for example, Zaporozhye. If there is no reaction to the warnings of the special services, the club reserves the right to apply to the sports arbitration court in Lausanne.
