Ukrainian Football Association first vice president Anatoly Demyanenko reacted to the incident by detaining UAF general secretary Yuriy Zapisotsky at the Ukrainian border.
According to him, an attack on the Ukrainian Football Association ordered by the Russians was launched.
“I have already said that one day Russia will pay for everything it does in our country. And it will. But we ourselves must not allow Russia to achieve its goals here through the hands of our law enforcement or hateful men. business.
The UAF became the target of Putin’s collaborators just as the Russian lobby in international football circles was defeated. There he ran into iron resistance and the systematic work of Ukrainian football president Andriy Pavelko.
I readily believe that the FSB has set itself the goal of destabilizing the work of the UAF as much as possible through police officers and controlled politicians, “he said.
Demyanenko called on the Attorney General and the chiefs of the national police to check their subordinates in detail.
“To the illegal detention of the Secretary General of the UAF at the border with Poland on the basis of false documents, the Attorney General Mr. Kostin, the chiefs of the border guards and the National Police must certainly respond. Check your people – were or used blindly, or knowingly working for the representatives of our common enemy, “Demyanenko added.
Recall that the media wrote that Yuri Zapisotsky was held on the border with Poland due to an attempt to hand over the suspects. In what proceedings and on what charges is still unknown.
UAF first vice president Oleg Protasov said that after the lawyers’ intervention, Yuri Zapisotsky eventually crossed the border into Poland and continued his business trip at UEFA.
Protasov also suggested that the “fabrication of charges” against UAF employees and “blank papers under the pretext of procedural documents” with the intent of “Russian clients should discourage the UAF from preparing for the 2030 World Cup. “.
