44 Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), led by Petras Petras, are calling on FIFA to ban Russian teams from the U-15 World Cup due to Russia holding 20,000 kidnapped Ukrainian children and bombing schools in Ukraine. The statement emphasizes that sport is used as a propaganda tool by the Russian regime for its war of aggression and demands that no Russian flag should appear at international sporting events until Russia stops hostilities and returns the kidnapped children.
