Before the match of the first round of the group stage of the Conference League, Ghent published a preview of the match against Lugansk Zorya on its official website.
When presenting the supernik, Gent tried to describe Lugansk, which was immediately occupied by the Russians, and finally Zorya itself. The Belgians did what seemed unprofessional and published false information, which Russian propaganda likes to feed on.
“A place with a population of 470,000 inhabitants in the partially occupied/annexed territory of Russia during the time of Ukraine. Many buildings in the area were bombed and thousands of people were killed.
About half of the Meskans are ethnic Russians, and the Russian language is the native language of more than 80% of the population. Both the place and the club are Russian oriented. This was evident from the fact that the Russian name Zorya (and not the Ukrainian Zorya) had been used in the club’s logo for a long time. It has recently been corrected”– go to the statistics.
