The Kremlin has welcomed FIFA President Gianni Infantino’s comments on ending a ban on Russia from international football competitions over its war on Ukraine, while Kyiv denounced his words as “irresponsible”.

Infantino – who previously had friendly relations with Russia’s President Vladimir Putin – said in an interview on Monday that the ban on Russia had “not achieved anything”.
