The Committee of Arbitrators of the Football Federation of Ukraine has ceased cooperation with the scandalous Ukrainian referee Anatoly Zhabchenko, who has a Russian passport.

This decision was made by the leadership of the Committee after considering the appeal sent by the referee himself.

Recall, in July he was removed from the refereeing of the match for the Super Cup of Ukraine.

Recently Zhabchenko did not receive appointments for the matches of the national championship, but twice judged the Eurocups, representing Ukraine.

The arbitrator was included in the list of the site "Peacemaker", which specializes in identifying people who violate the laws of Ukraine.

Zhabchenko, who lives on the territory of the Crimea and has Russian citizenship, constantly crossed the border of Ukraine through closed checkpoints.
