Vice-president of "Carpathian" Oleg Smaliychuk commented on the decision to terminate cooperation with the club's football player Mikhail Gotra, who supported the Russian team at the World Cup-2018.

"The decision on Gotre was taken personally and the entire responsibility for breaking the contract with the player rests with me, as on the head of the club. Can be too cardinal and emotional, but in football it's impossible without emotions. As in war. Almost daily kill my brothers. Therefore, fuck me in the opinion of pro-Russian vagrants, God judges them. And I beg your pardon for the fans, I'm sure that he already regrets his actions, "Smaliychuk wrote on his social network page. Note that the 18-year-old football player was kicked out of the team after he posted in the social network photo of the celebration of Russia's victory over Spain in the match 1/8 finals. In the photo he placed the Russian flag and was happy with the victory of the Russian team.

___________________________ Let's remind, 9 countries, including Ukraine, Australia, Finland, Japan, Denmark, Iceland, Great Britain, Poland, Sweden, declared a diplomatic boycott of the World Championship in Russia. The reasons for this were the Russian Federation's invasion of Ukraine and Syria, the poisoning of Russian ex-intelligence agent Sergey Skripal in Britain, the starvation of Ukrainian political prisoners, including the director Oleg Sentsov, and the systematic violation of human rights in the Russian Federation.

Unlimited hunger strike Sentsov announced May 14, 2018. His main demand is the release of more than 60 Ukrainian political prisoners who are behind bars in Russia. This requirement of the director was supported by the US State Department, the EU, the Canadian Parliament and.

In 2015, a Russian court illegally sentenced Sentsov to 20 years in a strict-security colony. The actions in support of the director were held all over the world, including in Russia.
