The English Premier League, due to Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, has suspended the contract with the Russian TV channel Match TV for broadcasting Premier League matches in the aggressor country, The Athletic reports..

The agreement with the broadcaster was calculated until 2028 and was estimated at more than 50 million euros, and the decision to suspend the contract was made at a general meeting of clubs.

It should be noted that back in March, the Premier League refused to cooperate with another Russian broadcaster, Okko Sport..

Recall that on February 24, Russian President Putin made an urgent statement about conducting a special military operation on the territory of Ukraine, launching a large-scale invasion of Ukrainian cities..

After that, Russian sports began to plunge into complete isolation.. There are practically no federations left that have not excluded the Russians from their competitions.
