Paris – Kyiv, December 04 (PolitNavigator, Vasily Ablyazimov) – German newspaper FAZ publishes details of UEFA's decision on Crimea, slightly different from victorious reports of Ukrainian politicians.
UEFA does not recognize the peninsula as Ukrainian, but makes a “special zone” for Crimea, prohibiting the participation of Crimean football clubs in the Russian Football Union.
“Until further notice, Crimea should be treated as a ‘special zone’ for football,” the statement said.
