Ukraine trolls Russia by including Crimea on its Euro 2020 soccer jersey

• Ukraine's football association included Crimea on a map featured on its new soccer jerseys.
• The new jerseys for the Euro 2020 competition also feature the patriotic slogan "Glory to Ukraine."
• Russian officials were angered by the jerseys, calling them a "political provocation."

Russian officials are angry with Ukraine's new national soccer jerseys, which feature a map of the country that includes Crimea.

Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine in 2014. While Russia now considers the peninsula to be part of its territory, it's still recognized as part of Ukraine internationally.

The soccer jersey was unveiled on Sunday, days before the start of the 2020 UEFA European Football Championship, which was delayed by COVID-19.

Along with including Crimea, the jersey also features the patriotic slogan "Glory to Ukraine," which was used during protests against Ukraine's former pro-Russia president.

Russian parliamentary deputy Dmitry Svishchev called the jerseys "a political provocation," according to a translation of Russian news agency RIA from Reuters.

In a Facebook post revealing the new jerseys, Andrii Pavelko, the head of Football Ukraine, said he hoped the jerseys would "give strength to the players," The Guardian reported.
