According to Poroshenko, the persecution of the athlete in Europe is a consequence of a propaganda campaign planned by Moscow.

The President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko considers that concerning the football player Roman Zozulya, known for his nationalist views, hybrid war is being developed. The head of State declared this during the meeting with the Prime Minister of Spain Mariano Rajoy, reported the press secretary of the Ukrainian president Svyatoslav Tsegolko on “Facebook”.

“The situation with Roman Zozulya is the result of a carefully planned propaganda campaign in the spirit of the hybrid war of Russia against Ukraine,” said the press secretary of the Ukrainian president Svyatoslav Tsegolko.

As a reminder, earlier the transfer of the Ukrainian forward Roman Zozulya from the Sevilla club “Real Betis” to the Madrid club “Rayo Vallecano” didn’t take place. It was opposed by the fans of the latter. They accused Zozulya of having nationalist views.
