Moscow demands to kick Ukraine out of FIFA and UEFA
If there is no reaction from FIFA and UEFA to the naming of Ukrainian stadiums after Hitler’s collaborators, then these football organizations will sign for a policy of double standards.
Journalist and TV presenter Vladimir Solovyov stated this on the Rossiya 1 TV channel, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“I want to make a serious statement, please consider it official. In Ukraine the stadium was renamed and named after a Nazi criminal, a man who is up to his elbows in blood - Jewish, Polish, Russian, Ukrainian, a scumbag named Shukhevych. Now also proposal is being considered in Lviv name [the stadium] after another Nazi collaborator and criminal named Bandera.
“I have a question for FIFA and UEFA, why, given the policy according to which FIFA and UEFA fight all manifestations of extremism, nationalism, racism, there is still no official statement, and Ukraine is not expelled from FIFA and UEFA for glorifying a Nazi criminal?” - said Solovyov.
“I consider this a manifestation of double standards, and I appeal to these international organizations and am sure that not only the Football Federation of Russia, but also Israel and Poland could well make official requests to UEFA and FIFA about the inadmissibility of this kind of renaming of stadiums, glorification Nazism And [FIFA and UEFA] must punish the Ukrainian federation, up to and including expelling it and banning the participation of the Ukrainian national team in international tournaments until these violations are corrected,” the TV presenter added.
