“These bastards just for fun burned a fascist symbol ‘V’ on the central stadium field in Borodyanka, where during peacetime we held matches of the annual international tournament named after V. Bannikov. In addition, they dug trenches nearby and tried to destroy the neighboring artificial turf field with BMPs. They failed! All damaged stadiums will definitely be restored and will again host both local games and international tournaments”, — Andriy Pavelko said.
