Decisions Against Russia

The international football federation FIFA and the European federation UEFA have decided that Russia or Russian football clubs will not be able to participate in international competitions until further notice. 


The federations decided this on Monday. I think it is the correct decision, now that Russia wages war on Ukraine. What I would like to know more about, however, is how the last qualification rounds will be played. Sweden was in the same pool as Russia. Will Poland, which would play its first game versus Russia, just go on until the next round? Is this fair, considering other teams ranked as Poland? I have still not read anything about this. I guess we will have to see further on.
