The historic scorer posted a message via his Instagram account before the match between Ukraine and Scotland in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Qatar, saying he wanted to use this match “as an opportunity to ask: stop aggression. ” there is no absolute justification for such violence. ”
“Today, Ukrainians are trying to forget – even for 90 minutes – the tragedy that continues to affect their country,” he added. I have lived 8 decades witnessing wars and hate speech by leaders for the salvation of our people, and we cannot go back to that time, we must move forward. ”
Pele described what is happening between Russia and Ukraine as “a fierce and unreasonable conflict that brings nothing but pain, fear and dread.”
Pelé referred to his previous meeting with Putin in 2017, before Russia hosted the 2018 FIFA World Cup, and sent him a message: “It is in your hands to stop this conflict; Both hands in 2017. ”
