Major scandal at UEFA! Vorskla Poltava refuses to play Kiev match with Arsenal: "We are not rags"

After UEFA announced the transfer of Vorskla Poltava – Arsenal to Kiev as a result of the introduction of martial law in parts of Ukraine, officials announced that the match could be suspended. According to Sky Sports, representatives of the Vorskla Poltava club do not guarantee that they will be able to hold the match in Kiev, as the Continental Force has asked them to move the site less than 48 hours before the match.

The supporters of the team were behind this event. They asked the leaders not to attend the match because the capital of Kiev was four hours from Poltava. "If the decision to move the match remains in place, we must boycott the game. UEFA can not use us as a rabbit", indicates a message sent by the supporters of the team on social networks.

"We sold 17,000 tickets for this match and 120 hotel rooms were reserved for journalists." The club has sent many documents to UEFA to ensure the safety of players and all players present in Poltava. the decision was made because in our region martial law was not introduced "said a club official at Sun.

The argument of the club representative is as valid as possible. Normally, martial law is introduced either in certain areas, usually at the border or across the country. In this case, the parliament adopted the introduction of martial law for border areas, especially since everything began after an incident in Crimea. Poltava is in the center of the country. Arsenal stayed Wednesday to train in London. The British are waiting for an official decision to embark for the flight to Ukraine. It remains to be seen how UEFA will handle the situation in the coming hours.

The President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, proposed the introduction of martial law and parliamentarians voted. All this left a conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The Russians captured three Ukrainian ships near the Crimea region. The crew aboard ships could end up behind bars in Russia. The reason? They accused their neighbors of entering a forbidden zone.
