“The second Bukovel will arrive. Palkin criticized the decision of the Kiev authorities

1/8 final match of the Europa League Shakhtar – Rome will take place on March 18 in Kiev. The Technological and Environmental Commission decided to ban games with spectators in the stands.

In this regard, the Managing Director of FC Shakhtar Sergey palkin appealed to the city administration.

“This decision caused a wave of outrage among FC Shakhtar fans. In this regard, I would like to ask the city administration a few questions:

– Why was the decision to hold the match without spectators actually made one day before the start of the match, when already thousands of fans were on trains and buses and moving in the direction of Kiev?

– What prevented it from being made public 2-3 days before the game, or last week? After all, making analogies, the situation resembles a visit to a restaurant, when you came, made an order, and after 15 minutes, you are told to leave the premises, because the restaurant is closed due to the decision of the Kiev technogenic commission. ;

– Why, when making their statements, were the referees guided by the figure of 35 thousand, although the real figure, the number of fans that would be present at the game, does not exceed 14 thousand?

– Why are only football matches banned, while indoor sports complexes, cafes, restaurants and shopping centers continue to function normally? The risk of infection in the open area of ​​the stadium is much lower than in the aforementioned establishments.

– What is the logic to ban a football match in an open stadium with the maximum security measures, given that thousands of fans without masks will go to watch the game in cafes and bars? And when the restaurants fill with fans tonight, who have come from different cities in the country, the second Bukovel will really arrive. Did the technogenic commission consider such a scenario?

FC Shakhtar and the club’s fans across Ukraine await responses from the responsible people who made that decision. However, there is a firm belief that the questions will remain unanswered.

For my part, I want to point out that the fans of the club will receive a full refund of the funds spent on the purchase of tickets.

The food purchased for the organization of the party will be transferred to orphanages and hospitals.

Take care of yourself and your loved ones, stay healthy! ”Palkin wrote on Facebook.
