The match was held between the national teams of Hungary and Lithuania. The flags of Ukraine were brought by Lithuanian fans,
According to Zolotukhin, representatives of the security of the sports complex approached the Lithuanian fans and demanded to remove the flag of Ukraine. Later, the security service seized the flags to prevent them from being displayed.
As Zolotukhin wrote, he is unaware of the rules prohibiting the third team from displaying the flag of the third team at a match between two teams.
Earlier, the Ukrainian media spread information about the release of a textbook in Hungary, in which the Carpathians are called the only high ones in Ukraine, at the foot of which there are historical Hungarian cities. In addition, Ukrainians were outraged by the fact that, judging by the Hungarian manual, the ethnic conflict in the territory of the former Soviet republic was the cause of the events in Crimea, as well as the statistics cited by the authors of the textbook that the majority of the population of the peninsula is Russian. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine demanded to amend the textbook.
