London, June 18(ANI): Ukraine's notorious racist goons have warned England fans ahead of both team's crucial group D match on June 19, by posting stickers in Donetsk, which claim they are ready to fight.
Approximately 10,000 Three Lions supporters are expected to be in Ukraine for Tuesday's crunch match against Ukraine.
The stickers appearing all over Donetsk portray images of fictional British hooliganism, taken from the film Green Street, along with the slogans 'We are waiting for you' and 'We are ready to fight'.
"We have top respect for the English football hooligan movement - it is what we grew up on and how we learned to support our clubs," The Daily Mail quoted Sergey, a former leader of Donetsk's hardcore hooligans the 'Ultras', as saying.
"Even if the police threaten us there will always be a threat in Donetsk towards the black and Asian fans who call themselves English, not only because of us Ukrainians but because there are so many Russians here who will unite with us. We share the same ideologies that we have to protect our nation," he added.
Police have issued various banning orders to known goons, and enlisted up to 1,000 officers to try to prevent clashes.
"The situation is under constant analysis. We will be ready to deploy officers at any time," Donetsk police chief Roman Romanov said. (ANI)
