The Minister of foreign Affairs of Ukraine Pavlo Klimkin said that for him, as for many in the foreign Ministry on the situation around Ukrainian football player Roman Zozulya is personally an emotional affair. From the very beginning, the Ukrainian side is trying to help him.

According to the Minister, now the Embassy and the foreign Ministry trying to speak not only with political components, because Kiev Madrid a very good relationship.
“As you know, the Spanish Minister of foreign Affairs is not just very good, and fantastically positively talked about Ukraine, when there was a meeting of foreign Ministers of the EU. Therefore, these provocations – and they will continue, as we understand, on the part of Russia we are trying to avoid. And the Novel will help. Not only politically, but also emotionally,” he said.
“Now it’s up to him how he chooses his future career. I personally very much respect his position. The ties that he has with the Embassy, the contacts have our Ambassador with the leadership and football clubs, and with the leadership of the fans of several clubs, has been very positive, I think. That’s why I say that it was a few ultras manipulated”, – concluded the foreign Minister.
We will remind, Roman Zozulya, whose transfer sheet belongs to the “Betis” was going to go on loan to Rayo Vallecano, however, faced with the protest of the fans of this club, who accused him of Nazi views. As a result, the Ukrainian decided to stay in the “real Betis”, but now I can’t play until the end of the season.
