Intro:
The delegation of the national invalids sport committee of Ukraine met local invalid football fans and Kharkiv authorities to discuss opportunities for invalid people during EURO 2012 tournament.
As delegation saw that underground station are has no access to get down or to get up from.
Street crosses are without any exits for disabled supporters. Bus stops and buses are not equipped for Wheelchairs too.
Add to that places on the stadium are not covered by roof, so if it will be rain, they'll be wet and the toilets are not great for disabled people either.

SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
SUPER CAPTION: Victor Kiktenko, Kharkiv football fan
"It is very hard to get to the stadium. We have some taxi service for invalids, they are bringing as here and then to home after matches. But if you're travelling from far away with transport crosses its very difficult to get here. Most of busses are not equipped for us. To get by metro is hard too, because no options to get up and down on the wheel chair.
