We in the UAF, representing at this time the entire Ukrainian community, are exposed to the brutal war and the brutality of Russian terrorists, emphasizing the fact that in their minds it is not possible to hold a highly important match, and, obviously, Conan, such matches cannot be supported in the same form.

We would also like to increase the respect of our colleagues from the Football Association of Serbia, that the Russian terrorist power is still continuing to perpetrate its greedy military atrocities in Ukraine, causing a devastating impact on nature and the economy. In other countries, it is absolutely unacceptable to allow teams from Russia to move in with the football family.
