Russian president Vladimir Putin launched a military invasion of neighbouring Ukraine on Thursday as a military airplane with 14 passengers crashed.

Consequently world football’s governing body FIFA will also meet on Thursday evening with Russia and Ukraine both scheduled to play in World Cup play-off matches in March.

Russia are due to play Poland on 24 March, while Scotland host Ukraine on the same day.

Ukraine’s domestic football league was set to resume this weekend after a winter break but that will remain suspended.
