The Russian Football Union has called for fan unity following the news that UEFA have opened disciplinary proceedings against Russia over the behaviour of their supporters during their European 2012 victory over Czech Republic on Friday.
David Davies, former executive director of the FA has said on ITV's Daybreak that he finds the stance taken by ministers, of not visiting Ukraine during Euro 2012 over concerns over opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, a 'surprise'.
