Nevertheless, Ukrainians in the comments take this greeting seriously and reply to it in the fashion of Ukrainian Insurgent Army of WWII: "Героям слава!"

Imo, it's not players of Croatia who can afford jokes of this kind.

It’s a slap in the face to their hosts.

Please, that's nothing. He has right to dedicate victory to Ukraine where he spend most of his career.

It is you Serbs that want to make scandal out of this because you are jelaous of Croatia's sucess.

I already wrote Croatia is extremely satisfied with Russian hospitality and most fans had time of their life there.

There are no problems.

Btw, another Croatian defender is captain of current Russian champions and fan favorite. So what ?

I hope Croatia win WC2018 so all their neighbors die out of jealousy like spoiled kids.

I think like 100% of Ukrainian ultra right now will support Croatia and Vida and Vukoevich personally.

What they did was like if a Russian team came to Croatia won against Croatia there and dedicated the victory to Serbia and Chetniks. I wonder if Croats agreed it could be a joke.

Vukojević is Serb ethnically btw, and he is official of Dynamo Kiev (scout for them). I wouldn't care to whom Russia dedicate victory.

But I am bit suprised how many Croats don't know enough about modern Ukraine to judge it properly. For example Hungarians hate that country because it does not respect minority rights.

We have good relations because they were among first to recognize us, but not much more than that.

I think Vida is bit dumb guy, but he meant no harm.

He wasn't even fined by FIFA. So I don't get the fuss.

Serb media already asked for suspension for him. This amount of hate towards Croatia and even our President in some newspapers is really shocking.

I don't get it why it matters for Serbs if Croatia wins WC or not. I didn't mind when Serbia became world champion in basketball.

OK.

I have a hard time believing it.

Well, since Vida played there, he should know it a bit. Concerning Croatian-Ukrainian connections, your tribe came from there and Croats talk about it often here. It's you who say you have some affinity because of this reason. Nothing wrong about it though.
Another thing is politics. And in youtube there you can find dozens of highly up-voted comments under the videos of Vida and Vukoevich. Many of them have political intonation.
