The text and video of the prohibited appeal of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky appeared on the Web to the guests of the final of the World Cup in Qatar.
“Warm greetings from Ukraine to all fans of football, peace and life. I congratulate the entire planet on the final of the World Cup. Today we will witness the general victory and triumph of the spirit. This world championship proved that different countries and nationality can decide who is stronger, in an honest game, and not in the game with fire, on the green field, and not on the red battlefield.
This is a dream of many people when players compete, giving everyone the opportunity to enjoy the world. Each father around the world dreams that his son would go on the field in a football match, and every mother wants her son not to be in war. Ukraine strives for the world as if nothing else.
We offer the formula of the world. There is no champion in the war, just as there can be no one. Therefore, I am announcing the initiative to conduct a world summit on the formula of the world. The summit, which is designed to unite all the nations around the world. After the match, the fans leave the stadium, and it becomes empty. In the same way, they become empty cities after the war.
That’s why the war should lose, and the world to become a champion. How this happens here in Qatar. World Cup, not World War II.
Please support Ukraine in its desire to restore the world. Join the summit of the world formula and become the world champion. Let’s witness the final and end of the war together. Glory to Ukraine! And a happy Qatari day, ”said the Ukrainian leader in his appeal.
