Swissotel hotel was selected by Vietnam as a place to stay when coming to Dubai during the training period. Before that, Mr. Park’s teachers and students chose another hotel, but as the date of departure, the location changed. The hotel is located in the busy Downtown Dubai area. The hotel lobby is quite small, but inside there are 2 more basements to serve the specific needs of the delegations, including the Vietnamese team. In the basement is a separate area. Vietnam team booked a dining room for a group of 47 people. Disinfectant water is required to be kept in the room for everyone to wash their hands before meals. The team gathers to eat and drink in this area from 12:15 local time (about 15:15 Hanoi time). The dishes are carefully noted by the logistics department and the team doctor during each trip. The next technical meeting room is also prepared to serve the Vietnamese team. The seating arrangement has a certain distance. The room is equipped with a projector and screen for professional work. The Vietnamese team will stay at this hotel from the evening of May 26 to the morning of June 3. This is the training phase, so VFF will take care of all expenses.

The big players can spend private time to call family and relatives. The large campus, modern architecture is made in the style of a resort, an oasis in the heart of Dubai that makes players excited. The hotel has 2 quite large communal swimming pools, but it is likely that Coach Park Hang-seo will not allow the students to live here in the context of the Covid-19 epidemic that may affect the team. The hotel also has a separate dining room for casual guests. The Vietnamese team does not operate in this area in order to limit contact with others when it is not necessary.

Speaking during an unhinged military visit, Minister Shoigu told reporters that the soldiers had met the necessary standards for the current situation.

“The military has shown readiness and ability to fulfill its mission to ensure the country’s military security,” Shoigu said.

The minister said the current drills were Moscow’s response to “the relentless efforts by the U.S. and its NATO allies to strengthen forces close to Russia’s borders.”

Over the past three weeks, Russia has deployed two units and three formations of paratroopers to the Western region in response to “military operations that are threatening Moscow.”

The U.S. and its allies have voiced warnings about increased Russian military presence along the border with Ukraine, and increased violations of the ceasefire in eastern Ukraine.

Years-long conflict in eastern Ukraine has left more than 14,000 people dead. But negotiation efforts have stalled.

NATO chief on Tuesday called russia’s latest deployment the largest concentration of forces on the Ukrainian border since 2014.

The White House said U.S. President Joe Biden had expressed concern about Russia’s increased military presence and “called on Moscow to reduce tensions” in Tuesday’s phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

In private meetings with ukraine’s foreign minister, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg also strongly supported Ukraine and warned Russia not to push for increased troops along the border.

In response, the Kremlin claimed Russia was free to deploy troops wherever it wanted on its territory. Moscow has also repeatedly accused the Ukrainian military of “provocative actions” along its eastern border.

Amid escalating tensions, the U.S. recently informed Turkey that the two warships would transit through the Bosphorus and reach the Black Sea on April 14-15, then stay there until May 4-5.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov denounced the latest deployment by the US Navy as “publicly provocative,” adding that “American ships have absolutely no reason to be near our shores.”

“They are challenging us,” Mr. Ryabkov said. “Considering itself the Lord of the Sea, the U.S. should recognize that the risk of incidents is very high. We warn the U.S. that they should stay away from Crimea and our Black Sea coast for their own benefit.”
