Former Dynamo footballer illegally visited annexed Crimea.
The head coach of Bryansk 'Dynamo' Andriy Kanchelskis illegally visited the annexed Crimea. He, along with other players and coaches, entered the territory of Crimea by circumventing customs and border control. This is a violation of Ukrainian legislation, for which imprisonment of 5-8 years is provided.
Andriy Kanchelskis was born in Kirovohrad (now Kropivnytskyi) and played for 'Dynamo' from 1988 to 1990. He also played for 'Manchester United', where he earned several awards. Although Kanchelskis' mother lives in Kropivnytskyi, he does not publicly condemn Russian aggression against Ukraine.
Another athlete, Yevhen Baidusov, also illegally visited Crimea and won a gold medal at the European Wrestling Championship. He also held training sessions for children in the territory of Crimea.
The traitor Oleg Kharuta, born in Sevastopol and having worked as a coach in chess and football, was eliminated by defense forces. He was removed to the territory of Russia.
