Schalke 04 have announced they will dump long-term sponsors Gazprom after Russia invaded Ukraine causing fears of unrest across Eastern Europe.
PJSC Gazprom is a Russian majority state-owned multinational energy corporation headquartered in the Lakhta Center in Saint Petersburg.
German newspaper Bild has already began covering any Gazprom logos on Schalke jerseys with “Freedom for Ukraine" to protest against Russia's deepening military intervention in Ukraine.
