The captains of Fulham and Wolverhampton came to the opening match of the 25th round of the English Premier League in blue and yellow armbands as support for Ukraine on the anniversary of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation.

Also, the announcer before the starting whistle called on the fans to help Ukraine. Note that in this round, the blue-yellow armbands will be present in all matches of the Premier League.

It is worth noting that in March last year, the English Premier League donated ?1 million to support Ukraine and terminated the contract with the championship broadcaster in Russia..

Five Ukrainian players play in the Premier League - Oleksandr Zinchenko (Arsenal), Mykhailo Mudryk (Chelsea), Vitaliy Mykolenko (Everton), Ilya Zabarny (Bournemouth) and Yehor Yarmolyuk (Brentford).

Recall that on February 24 last year, 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..
