Last week (March 3), EA announced that it would be removing “all Russian clubs” from FIFA and NHL titles. The announcement came as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on February 24, which has now resulted in two million refugees fleeing Ukraine.

FIFA 22 players have now received a message notifying them that a number of FUT items will no longer be available in the FIFA Ultimate Team mode. “EA Sports stands in solidarity with the Ukrainian People and like so many voices across the world of football, calls for peace and an end to the invasion of Ukraine,” reads the message. The message then details what items will not be available in the Ultimate Team mode in FIFA, which includes:

• Player items from Russian clubs.
• Kit items from Russian clubs.
• Stadia and Stadium Items from Russian clubs and the national team.
