"After the successful isolation of Russian teams on the international arena, which we achieved together with UEFA and FIFA in the spring of this year, we are moving towards the next goal - compensation for the damage caused to our football by the Russian aggressor. We believe in the success of our claim to the ECHR!" Andrii Pavelko noted at the end of the meeting.
