The Minister of Sports of Ukraine, Vadym Gutzait, spoke about the resumption of the UPL and the suspension of matches in the event of an air alert.
Vadim Gutzeit— Matches will be played without spectators. The decision was made together with the President and Prime Minister of Ukraine. Only with the participation of athletes, coaches and the media. There should be a storage room nearby so that everything is under control. There will be interaction with the local authorities, with the police and the Ministry of Emergency Situations. It's difficult, but that's how domestic championships can be run. Safety is key.
— What if the storage is 500-800 meters away?
— UAF works out these moments with all regions where it is possible to hold matches. They will only take place where there is storage and where you can hide. They will work out all the security points, only then will the matches be held there. We will have 5-7 minutes, we need everyone to be in the warehouse during this time. And when we win, there will be 20, 50, and 60 thousand fans in the stands.
— After victory, several stadiums will first need to be rebuilt.
- Not a few, but more. 111 sports facilities were destroyed. These are Sports Palaces, swimming pools, football fields, and athletic arenas. More than $160 million in damage. But after the victory, we will build even more.
