JUST IN: Ukraine Football League Suspended Amid Russian Invasion | NNH

The Ukrainian Premier League has been paused for a minimum of 30 days after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

The league was meant to restart on Friday following its winter break but the league confirmed via their official website that the start has been delayed after the introduction of martial law overnight by Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

There will now be doubts whether Ukraine’s World Cup play-off match against Scotland in Glasgow will take place as planned on March 24, while UEFA is already considering replacing Zenith St Petersburg as host of the Champions League final on May 28.
