The reason for such a decision by the football representatives of the aggressor country is that they still cannot understand why all their national and club teams were suspended from international competitions..

This was stated by the President of the RFU Alexander Dyukov in the comments of the Championship..

" Dialogue is ongoing, we are holding certain consultations. But the decision came as a surprise to us.. We expect to receive some clarification in the near future why there were no consultations before its adoption.. We hope this situation will be resolved soon..

This is not my decision, the bureau or the executive committee is the decision of the conference. If all together decide to withdraw from FIFA, then we will take over the technical component. But this decision should be extremely balanced.

Young players, coaches and everyone should understand that in this case they will be deprived of the opportunity to participate in international tournaments for a long time.. Yes, now they are deprived of this, but now the appeal process is underway, and consultations are also underway. There is a possibility that the decision on the RFU will be changed,"

Earlier, the European Football Union (UEFA) announced the suspension of Russian teams from tournaments under its auspices in the 2022/23 season. At the same time, we note that Russia has not yet been expelled from UEFA and FIFA.

The decision taken by UEFA on May 2 also does not provide for the deprivation of the aggressor country of membership in the European football organization..

Recall that on February 24, Russia attacked Ukraine, inflicting a series of missile and air strikes on our cities, including Kyiv.. Large-scale invasion continues for the 100th day (war of 8 years). The occupiers continue to destroy Ukrainian villages, towns and cities with cruise missiles and air bombs, killing the civilian population and causing devastating destruction to the infrastructure.
