The organization’s refusal to show the Ukrainian President’s call for peace before the World Cup finals once again showed hypocrisy under the name “Sport is not in politics,” said the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry.
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said FIFA’s refusal to broadcast Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s speech showed the world the cowardice of the organization’s leadership. Kuleba wrote this on his Instagram page.
“We will tear down the wall on which is written “Sport is out of politics.” FIFA’s refusal to show the President of Ukraine a call for peace before the final World Cup has once again demonstrated the hypocrisy of the so-called “Sport out of politics “. But we will destroy this Carthage,” said Kuleba.
According to him, world sports organizations and functionaries have been hiding behind this phrase for a long time. In fact, the ordinary coward always stands and stands behind it.
“When they told me that the Russian and Belarusian athletes were allegedly not responsible for their countries’ crimes and should be allowed to compete, I asked: “What about the 184 Ukrainian athletes who will no longer participate in any competitions, because Russia kills. them?” wrote the minister.
He also emphasized that this year Ukraine has broken many walls in the minds of foreigners: about the supply of weapons, the imposition of sanctions, and the perception of war in general. Also, the Ukrainians will be able to break down the wall of indifference and hypocrisy of the world’s sports organizations to the criminal aggression of Russia.
Recall that President Volodymyr Zelensky wanted to make a video message to the participants of the World Cup final and viewers around the world with a call for peace. However, FIFA did not like such an initiative and rejected Zelensky from the organization.
