“Fenerbahce” club, accused by Kyiv “Dynamo” of helping Russia: “You have no honor, you have no shame, you have no conscience”

Fenerbahçe is sponsored by Russian oil giant Gazprom, and as part of the partnership between the two companies, the Turkish club will play a friendly against Russian side Zenit St Petersburg on Sunday.

“When the fans in Istanbul chanted the name of the murderous country and came to the match against Dynamo in the masks of the sadistic leader of Europe, the Fenerbahce club was silent. Now it is clear why.

Gazprom’s bloody money overshadowed everything, left you without honor and conscience. Russian missiles kill Ukrainians every day, the whole civilized world has rallied against aggression and mass murder, and your club accepts bloody memorials from sponsors of terrorism.

UEFA and FIFA forbid Russian clubs from participating in international tournaments, and you go to their home, for the tournament, to earn money and play with the aggressor.

Nothing can justify such an approach. No amount of money can compensate for this shameful behavior, this approach to criminals without morals and without human qualities.

We are not afraid to tell the whole world: you are helping criminals to continue the bloody “harvest” on Ukrainian soil. Play with them and legitimize the main evil of the 21st century. Fenerbahce Spor Kulyubyu – no honor, no shame, no conscience! Shame on you!”, This is stated in the press release of the Kyiv club “Dynamo”.

The dispute between the two clubs – “Fenerbahce” and “Dynamo” Kyiv – is somewhat older. At a match on a neutral field with the Ukrainian team in the group stage of the last season of the Europa League, the fans of the team from Istanbul chanted the name of Russia and wore masks with the image of Vladimir Putin, writes the News. ro.
