UEFA has indeed signed and sent a letter to UAF warning of the possible exclusion from the organization. This was reported by Tribuna.com, citing a statement from UEFA's press service.
'We can confirm that UEFA signed and sent this letter. We have no further comments,' the press service stated.
The day before, this letter was published by UAF Vice President Oleg Protasov. It indicates that FIFA and UEFA point out the unacceptability of third-party influence and government interference in the activities of UAF. Any violation of this obligation may lead to the suspension of Ukraine's membership in FIFA and UEFA according to Article 16 of FIFA's Statutes and Article 9 of UEFA's Statutes.

The appearance of this letter was triggered by attempts of third parties to interfere in the work of UAF and to conduct an extraordinary Executive Committee in an illegal manner, followed by interference in the state register.
The likelihood of Ukraine's exclusion from FIFA and UEFA was previously commented on by Oleg Blokhin. He stated that such a move by international football bodies is a logical response to the raider principle of changing leadership in the Ukrainian Football Association, which is planned to be implemented through the Ministry of Justice.
According to journalist Konstantin Andriyuk, criminal and media pressure on the UAF leadership is being exerted with the aim of removing Association President Andriy Pavelko from office and replacing him with Andriy Shevchenko. Andriyuk pointed to the alleged involvement of people from the President's Office in these processes.
According to journalist Igor Burbas, Shevchenko himself was also warned by UEFA: if he attempts to take power in UAF through illegal elections, the doors of UEFA will be closed to him.
