Statement of the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine.
The Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine has issued an application for the admission of Russian U-17 teams from international markets.
“At least 19 thousand children were stolen from Ukraine and taken from Russia. The Russian military built 2767 initial foundations in Ukraine. 344 sports facilities were damaged. 95 of them - either completely rebuilt by Russia or partially depleted.
The occupying Russian regime continues to kidnap and kidnap Ukrainian children, destroying civil infrastructure, including stadiums and sports schools, without depriving Ukrainian children of opportunities to play sports., and for basic life.
Thus, at the beginning of the large-scale invasion, Russia killed 504 children, and another 1129 were injured as a result of Russian aggression. 3209 crimes against children by Russian occupiers have already been documented, including 13 cases of sexual violence against minors.
Aggressive Russia has allowed Ukrainian children not only the ability to exercise, but also to live peacefully and safely. Hundreds of our children have saved their lives. Nowadays, UEFA and FIFA are turning to scam Russian children, as the guilty body will be told that their country has the right to kill others and do everything right.
We are concerned with the decision of FIFA and UEFA, both of whom are intervening the rights of Ukrainian children, whom Russia has granted the right to safely train and simply live in the Russian Federation, without the threat of being stolen, stolen or beaten.
Ukraine has attacked all UEFA member associations with plans to boycott any matches with the Russian Federation. The Football Association of England, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, Norway, Romania has already officially announced such a boycott.. Another dozen countries – Switzerland, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Estonia – announced that they would seek further clarification from UEFA.
We are firmly convinced that football can forever promote peace, tolerance and justice, and not spontaneously prolong war and promote injustice.
We call on FIFA and UEFA to resist violence and aggression on the side of the Russian Federation. We will resolutely maintain this position until Russia fights against Ukraine and until peace returns to the European continent,” the statement reads..
It was previously reported that the world championship would be held for the first time in history in six countries and on three continents in 2030.
