Zelensky's appeal, which FIFA has banned from showing, is made public

President Volodymyr Zelenski's address, which FIFA refused to broadcast during the World Cup, has been shown online, in which the Ukrainian leader declared an initiative to convene a Global F1 Summit. The president's address was posted on his Facebook page by UAF president Andriy Pavlenko. He stressed that it should be seen if not from stadium screens in Qatar, then from gadget screens. "For this is a call for peace".

In it, the president stated:

'This World Cup proves time and time again that different countries and nations can decide who is stronger, in a fair game, not a game of fire. On a green football field, not a red battlefield. It is the dream of so many people! When players compete, but all enjoy peace. Every father would want to take his son to a football match. Wherever it is. And every mother would want her son to return from war. whenever it is. Ukraine wants peace more than anything!

The President stressed that there are no champions in war and there can be no draws. He also announced an initiative to convene a Global Peace Summit, which is due to take place this winter:

A summit to unite all the peoples of the world around the idea of global peace. The stands of the stadiums are empty after a match and after a war the cities remain empty. So wars must fail and peace must become champions, as it is here now in Qatar. A world championship, not a world war, is possible

The President has called for support for Ukraine and its efforts to restore peace, and for Ukraine to join the Global Peace Formula Summit.
