On Tuesday, Russia wrote to UEFA about the yellow jersey, which features an outline of Ukraine on the front, including Crimea, which Russia invaded in 2014.
"Earlier, UEFA had authorized the new jersey and every part of the kit, including the motto," the Ukrainians told to AFP. The action was welcomed by Russia, but the Ukrainian Football Association stated it was in discussion with UEFA to have the decision reversed. According to European football's governing body, the statement "Glory to the Heroes," which is displayed inside the shirt and was a rallying cry during the 2014 anti-Russia riots in Ukraine, was "obviously political in nature," according to European football's governing body. UEFA has asked Ukraine on Thursday to modify their Euro 2020 jerseys to remove a "political" message that triggered the Russian protests.
