Former Ukrainian soccer star Anatoliy Tymoshchuk is banned for life for failing to take a stand against Russia.

Ukraine record holder Anatoliy Tymoshchuk has been banned from football in his country for refusing to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and failing to resign from his position as assistant coach of the Russian club Zenit Saint-Petersburg.

Former captain of the Ukraine national football team, Tymoshchuk, 42, has been banned for life in Ukraine, the national football federation announced on Friday.

Tymoshchuk will have his license removed and his name erased from the Ukrainian football honors list.

The Ukrainian football federation added that it would ask the government of Ukraine to withdraw the awards received during his career which saw the midfielder, 144 times international between 2000 and 2016, play at Shakhtar Donetsk, Bayern of Munich and at the Zenith Saint-Petersburg, where he has been on the staff since 2017.

Mehn

useless people and their nonsense...no wonder so many Ukrainians welcome Putin and are against these Neo Nazis!

why should he take a stand when he WORKS in Russia, for a Russian football club?!?!?

He betrayed his Country when they needed him most.

Every notable voice is needed now.

They are really acting stupid plus the influence from some of the European countries..... None of these countries have gone to sit with Putin asking him to put an end to the war, instead they are giving Ukraine ammunition to fight.... This war looks like it was planned.. Something is not right

That’s a silly decision from both side. He should have resign long time ago and bring politics into sports is what I totally against.
