The Pitmen's fans have already expressed their opinion on the idea of Gai's return to Shakhtar. On Twitter, the Donetsk club's ultras left a short message: "Guy is a Russian devil".

We will remind, in December 2014, after the Russian invasion of Donbass, Oleksiy Gai refused to wear a shirt in support of the AFU, and in 2016 the footballer left for Russia, where he played for Kuban for two years.
