Journalist Ihor Burbas has published a conversation in which, according to him, the head of the Vinnytsia Regional Football Federation, Irek Gataullin, and the executive director of the Kharkiv Regional Football Association, Oleksiy Krucher, take part. The recording discusses the nomination of Krucher for the position of deputy chairman and member of the executive committee of the Kherson Regional Football Association, "Komersant Ukrainian" reports.
During the conversation, Gataullin instructs Krucher to collect the required number of protocols by a certain date, citing his own responsibility for the process.
“I need at least 10 protocols by Monday. I need 15 by Wednesday,” he says.
Gataullin also mentions other officials in the conversation, claiming that they have already approved Krucher’s promotion.
“Golovko told me: I agree with your position, I don’t mind him being vice president and helping me,” Gataullin says.
“I said that today. You can ask Danylchenko, Golovko, Hryshchenko, Andriy Mykolayovych (Shevchenko, head of the UAF – ed.). I vouched for you with my head,” he adds.
Gataullin also claims “control over the situation” and the special position of Krucher, who is allegedly already “in the team.”
“You’re afloat here, you’re the king, you’re here on trips, you’re here for everything… We’ve forgotten – we have a new story. You are in the team,” Gataullin emphasizes.
We will remind, earlier journalist Ihor Burbas has already published other audio recordings, which also testify to the possible interference of the UAF leadership in the election of the head of the Kherson Regional Football Association.
