Previously, the President of Donetsk Shakhtar Rinat Akhmetov at the UEFA headquarters in Newyon was joined by UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin, at the hour of which he unveiled a sign in honor of the 90th anniversary of the club and the 30th anniversary.

Towards the hour of the ceremony, the presidents of Shakhtar and UEFA exchanged comments.

" I am here at the request of the UEFA President, for which I thank you very much. We no longer studied with Alexander for five years, and I was deprived of the warmth and best knowledge about that sustrich.

Then none of us could accept that in three months Russia would launch a large-scale, aggressive, unjust and brutal war against Ukraine. Against your peaceful neighbors.

I’m here not just to get away from the city, even if it’s not welcome - it’s very welcome, and behind it stands the great work of our entire football homeland: all generations of football players, coaches, players of the club.

I’m also here to thank the UEFA President for those who always fight for good, always fight for justice,” said Rinat Akhmetov.

“I don’t think that Europe still wants one president who would give so much to his club, who would show so much love for football and his club. And it’s truly destructive that I manage to work in such a way that an absolutely abnormal situation seems normal for Shakhtar’s players.

And, with all the respect to all others, I don’t think that without Rinat Akhmetov this club would still exist,” sharing his enemies Alexander Cheferin.

Also present at the meeting were the general director of Shakhtar Sergiy Palkin and the sports director of the club Darijo Srna.
