Sergei Palkin: "This is a real restart of the UPL"

Shakhtar General Director Serhiy Palkin, in a commentary to Dennikn.sk, expressed his opinion on the start of the new season of the Ukrainian Championship.

- I think that this is a real restart of the UPL - 16 clubs will start in the league, but most of them will play far from their home cities or stadiums. The Premier League will be held without spectators in the arenas, but the main thing is that football has returned, and this is very important. This is a great relief to the entire Ukrainian people.

We are very strong mentally. We believe that Ukraine will win this war and football will return to normal. I am sure that Ukrainian football has a great future, just like our country," said Palkin.
