The players of the Transcarpathian club did not argue with the representatives of the aggressor country.
On Monday, February 13, a mass brawl involving Ukrainian and Russian football players took place at the Turkish Royal Seginus hotel.
According to the Baza Telegram channel, in the evening, several representatives of the Minai team approached the head of the Yaroslavl tire manufacturer with a request to sing the anthem of Ukraine. The Russian club functionary denied this, but offered to come out to find out. Hotel staff intervened in the conflict, stopping the fight.
A few hours later, Minai’s football players ended up in the same elevator with the tire manufacturer’s football player and beat him up. When the elevator reached the floor, the players of the Russian club were standing, which led to a mass brawl.
