Ukrainian FIFA referee Yevhen Aranovsky spoke about the current situation with the judiciary.
" There were calls from functionaries of the organization. Everyone is ready to help in any way they can.. At the moment, I support the disqualification of Russian football clubs, national teams, referees and all international competitions.
Even Ukrainian referees cannot officiate international matches because you can't leave the country. How will this end, we will again be assigned to the game. I'm sure we'll be back.
Arbitrators of all Ukrainian divisions have a common group of telegrams. There are about a hundred of us there.. We are constantly writing off. All are in different cities and different conditions. We are constantly in touch. We exchange news and psychological state. Helping each other what we can.
UAF has created a special coordination center. We all sent our data there: who is where, where are the families, what is the condition, help is needed.. If someone needs help, the information is transferred to the center and appropriate measures are taken..
We have such a person for whom there is no information.
We do not know anything about one young referee from Mariupol. Even more difficult is the situation with Sergei Lisenchuk. He and his family are either on the Brovarsky or Chernihiv direction. They lived in the village, and there is no connection with them,"
The English Premier League and the Italian Football Federation banned until the end of the season to sign contracts with players from the championships of Ukraine and Russia, despite the permission of FIFA.
