What to do while in Ukraine

Ukraine and France 2-0 in their World Cup qualifying play-off first leg in Kiev. "We are trying to keep our players away from the past. To know the reasons for those failures, you had to be there," Ukraine coach Mykhaylo Fomenko told reporters.

  The Neo-Nazi thug who killed a grandfather and bombed three mosques was driven to kill by far-right paramilitary groups and racist Dynamo Kiev fans, it has been revealed. Pavlo Lapshyn had been in Britain for just five days when he murdered 82-year-old Mohammed Saleem by stabbing him in the back as he made his way home after Friday prayers.           The 25 year-old white supremacist had moved to Birmingham where he had been awarded a placement to further his engineering studies. Following his trial counter terrorism officers said that he had acted as a “lone wolf”. But the Birmingham Mail has revealed how detectives found literature and images related to Ukrainian far-right group Patriot of Ukraine (PoU) and fascist Dynamo Kiev supporters on Lapshyn’s Russian Facebook page and on a pen computer drive when they raided the home he shared with a fellow student  in Small Heath, Birmingham .
