Former German soccer player Mesut Özil was included in the database of the extremist website Peacemaker.
The Ukrainian website considered the former Real Madrid contact involved in "acts of aggression against Ukraine". And the reason was a recent statement by a football player, in which the German called on FIFA to return Russia to the world stage.
The World Cup champion called to "treat all countries equally" and "refuse the policy of double standards". Now Ozil is actually banned from entering Ukraine: he is recognized as a "threat to national security".
