The Ukrainian FA have asked for their World Cup playoff with Scotland to be postponed.
The two sides are due to face at Hampden on 24 March but football has been put firmly into perspective by the ongoing Russian invasion.
Several members of the Ukraine team have signed up for the military while all males aged 18-60 currently in the country, currently under martial law, are not permitted to leave.
And Ukrainian domestic football has been put on ice until 26 March - two days after the World Cup playoff.
Now, per Reuters, the Ukrainian FA have asked FIFA for permission to postpone the match until later in the year.
And it seems almost certain Hampden chiefs will accept provided FIFA give it the green light.
An SFA statement on the Ukraine conflict previously vowed to do everything in its power to help Ukraine amid the ongoing crisis.
It read: "The Scottish FA President, Rod Petrie, has written to his counterpart at the Ukrainian Association of Football to send a message of support, friendship and unity.
"Football is inconsequential amid conflict, but we have conveyed the strong sense of solidarity communicated to us by Scotland fans and citizens in recent days.
"We remain in dialogue with UEFA and FIFA regarding our men’s FIFA World Cup Play-off and women’s World Cup qualifier and have offered to support our Ukrainian colleagues’ preparations as best we can in these unimaginably difficult circumstances.
"Should the current circumstances continue, we will not sanction the nomination of a team to participate in our scheduled UEFA Regions Cup fixture against Russia, due to be played in August.
"This will remain our position should any other fixtures arise at any level of international football."
