The UAF insists on maintaining UEFA and FIFA's previous decisions to exclude all Russian teams from participating in international competitions under the auspices of these organizations.

The UAF confirms that it will not participate in any competitions involving Russian teams, and appeals to other member associations of UEFA to boycott potential matches featuring teams from the RF if they are allowed to participate.

We are convinced that making similar decisions regarding the gradual return of teams from the RF to competition participation amid ongoing military actions initiated by the Russian Federation against Ukraine is unjustified and tolerates Russian aggressive policy.

We urgently call on UEFA to review this decision and maintain the previous decision to completely exclude any teams from the RF from participating in international competitions.
