Response to the loss of the opportunity to participate in the World Cup

Due to Russia's aggression against Ukraine, the Russian national team and Russian clubs were excluded from international tournaments, including the World Cup. This means that Russia lost the opportunity to compete in the finals of the World Cup after the aggression in 2022. The commemorative tribute to the Russian occupier Bugayev at the UEFA congress caused a negative reaction among Ukrainians.

The president's position of 'Sion' regarding the match with 'Zenit' has sparked discussion in the sports world, especially in the context of the expulsion of Russian football from international competitions due to aggression against Ukraine.
