MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia said on Wednesday it had complained to European football governing body UEFA over Ukraine's new national team shirt which is emblazoned with a map including Crimea and words from a military slogan.

Russia considers the peninsula part of its territory and annexed it in 2014, but Crimea remains internationally recognised as part of Ukraine.

"The Russian Football Union has appealed to UEFA to receive explanations," TASS quoted Sports Minister Oleg Matytsin as saying."We have expressed our concern about the Ukrainian national team's kit." Ukrainian manager Andriy Shevchenko, the former Chelsea striker, told reporters this week that he did not care about the Russian reaction."I'm interested in our reaction. I think our fans liked our uniform, so I'm pleased," he said.
