The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine is waiting for an apogy from FIFA, which showed a map of Ukraine without Crimea during the draw for the 2026 World Cup.

Ukrainian MFA spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi wrote this on social media platform X, Ukrinform reports.

“By redrawing international borders in yesterday’s broadcast, you not only acted against international law, but also supported Russian praganda, war crimes, and the crime of aggression against Ukraine. We fixed the map for you and expect a public apogy,” Tykhyi posted.

Are you OK, @FIFAcom? By redrawing international borders in yesterday’s broadcast, you not only acted against international law, but also supported Russian praganda, war crimes, and the crime of aggression against Ukraine.
