"The Football Federation of Ukraine and I have taken a difficult position in the situation surrounding the football player of the Croatian team Damega Vidi after the victory of the team in the quarterfinals of the 2016 World Cup: The brilliant game and the fighting skills of Vida, as well as the entire team of Croatia The football player, who has long defended the honor of Dynamo and lived in the Ukrainian capital in a very difficult time for our country, left many friends and supporters who deserved to devote part of this victory.

In recent years, the appeal of "Glory to Ukraine! Has become a symbol of invincibility and patriotism for our citizens, and it is quite natural that the person to whom our country has given too much, treats it with great respect for its citizens. Express publicly its respect for Ukraine and its citizens.

We quickly sent letters to the relevant bodies of FIFA and UEFA to protect not only the football player of the Croatian team, but especially the person who is entitled to his position and respect our country. And Vida will participate in the semifinal of the 2018 World Cup. Glory of Croatia! Glory to Ukraine! "- wrote Pavelko.
