When the Croatian Football Federation fired associate coach Ognjen Vukojević for appearing in an ostensibly pro-Ukrainian video during the World Cup in Moscow, it wasn’t the only one punishing him. International soccer association FIFA also fined him 15,000 Swiss francs ($15,150).

Now, the Football Federation of Ukraine, or FFU, is stepping up with a helping hand. On July 10, the federation’s president, Andriy Pavelko, announced that his organization would pay the coach’s fine.
