A Russian MP called it a “political provocation” after Ukraine unveiled its shirt for Euro 2020, emblazoned with its borders including Crimea and the slogan “Glory to Ukraine.
In a statement to the BBC, European football’s governing body Uefa said: “The shirt of the Ukrainian national team (and of all other teams) for Uefa Euro 2020 has been approved by Uefa, in accordance with the applicable equipment regulations.”
“We believe that Ukraine’s silhouette will give strength to the players because they will fight for all of Ukraine,” head of Ukraine’s footballing association Mr Pavelko said.
The US embassy in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital, tweeted “love the new look”, with a photo of the new kit. But Russian foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova criticised the kits ”the slogan was nationalistic and echoed a Nazi rallying cry.” She said.
Russian MP Dmitry Svishchev called the shirt “totally inappropriate” and urged Uefa to take action.
