KIEV. July 23. UNN. Vice-UEFA President Grigoriy Surkis is attempting to strengthen its Pro-Russian position in FIFA by obtaining control over the Ukrainian football Federation. About this on his page in Facebook wrote a political expert Volodymyr Manko, reports UNN.
“Russia’s hybrid war has no boundaries. Football as the most popular sport in Ukraine, can not be outside of their attention. The Kremlin is trying to take control of the FFU to leave Grigory Surkis will represent Ukraine in FIFA. Especially because he helped Russia to hold the 2018 world Cup. The connection between them is obvious.
Thus Ukraine has a FIFA representative, defending the interests of Russia”, – he wrote.

“For this attack are brothers Surkis and Victor Medvedchuk. It’s a Union of financial, political, very old. Since the 90-ies, remember that they were also quite successful in politics. And this purely Pro-Russian Union” – said Manko

And again, to lead or personally, or some person to advance to this position, and to use football for political purposes. We remember how it was done in the 90-ies as a “Dynamo Kiev” aligned to various political slogans, movement, various political parties, forces … Under soccer, “Dynamo Kyiv”, the national team of Ukraine”, – said the political expert.
