Luhansk rebels found 'LPR national football team'
The pro-Russian rebels in Ukraine's Luhansk region are also set to found their own football federation.
Some Pavel Voikov will be in charge of the project. Ex-player of Zarya, coach Yuri Malygin and ex-player Konstantin Pinchuk will help him.
Voikov is refusing to explain what this ‘LNR football team’ will be like, espresso.tv reports. He has asked to phone him later.
The so-called Lugansk People’s Republic has not been recognized by other countries. Pro-Russia militants who have seized power in Lugansk and part of the oblast say that they are building a state independent from Kiev.
