Smells like a serious scandal.
Before the match of the first round of the group stage of the Conference League, Ghent published a preview of the match with Lugansk Zorya on its official website.
In the presentation of the supernik, Ghent tried to describe Lugansk, which was immediately occupied by the Russians, and, finally, Zorya itself. The Belgians did this, seemingly unprofessionally, and published false information, which Russian propaganda is happy to feed.
" A lot of buildings near the city were bombed, thousands of people died.
About half of the Meskans are ethnic Russians, for more than 80% of the population of the Russian language and region. Both the place and the club are Russian-oriented.
This was evident from the fact that the Russian name Zorya (and not the Ukrainian Zorya) was used in the club’s logo for a long time.. It was just recently corrected,” according to the statistics.
