He stressed that had preparations for the football tournament started 18 months ago, there would be no crisis in Ukraine today, as hundreds of thousands of new jobs would have been created, autobans, hotels airports would be built. Steel makes would have markets for steel.

“For a whole year we heard yarns that there was an investor in Lviv. Then the whole city council had to look into how the tender to build a stadium was held.
