UEFA says the Europa League game between Arsenal and Vorskla Poltava in Ukraine on Thursday will go ahead as planned even as the country’s President, Petro Poroshenko, calls for martial law.
Ukraine’s navy said six of its sailors were wounded when Russian coastguards opened fire on three ships in waters off Crimea and then seized them late on Sunday.
Parliament is set to consider Poroshenko’s request for martial law later on Monday.
UEFA said it could “confirm that the match will be played as scheduled,” adding that “as is the case for all UEFA competition matches, all the necessary security measures will be undertaken.”
