Ultras from Legia and Wisla Krakow join forces to call Putin "Russian whore"

Fierce rival fans of Legia Warsaw and Wisla Krakow found some common ground at the Stadion Wojska Polskiego on Friday evening as they teamed up to hammer Vladimir Putin.

The sporting world has been heavily critical of the Russian president following his decision to undergo what he calls "a special military operation" against Ukraine.

Supporters of Legia and Wisla have since given their own take on the politician and former intelligence officer in the form of a brutal chant.

Ahead of their derby clash on Friday (February 25) supporters of both teams could be heard singing in Polish: "Russian whore."

Their chants come as the Czech Republic joined Sweden and Poland in refusing to play Russia in international football – regardless of the location.

Polish FA president Cezary Kulesza said: "No more words, time to act!

"Due to the escalation of the aggression of the Russian Federation towards Ukraine the Polish national team does not intend to play the play-off match against Russia.

"We are in talks with Sweden and Czech Republic federations to bring forward a joint statement to FIFA."

Individual players have also slammed the actions of Russia, with Robert Lewandowski backing the decision of his country.

He said: "It is the right decision! I can’t imagine playing a match with the Russian National Team in a situation when armed aggression in Ukraine continues.

"Russian footballers and fans are not responsible for this, but we can’t pretend that nothing is happening."
