Vice-president of Kryvbas Kryvyirogorsk Artem Gagarin commented on the information that the UPL clubs voted for the exclusion of "Dnipro-1".
"In general, how can we, the clubs, vote - to remove or not remove "Dnipro-1"? We have no such authority. And all sorts of insides that the decision is made or not made by some clubs - this is false information.
This is the competence of the body that issued the certificate to Dnipro-1 - the UAF Attestation Committee. If they issued this certificate, then let them reconsider and make a decision. "Dnipro-1" did not make a contribution or did not apply in time? Let the UPL act according to the procedure and appeal to the UAF CDC. Here the decision should be completely up to the Ukrainian Football Association.
And we all hope that they will promptly gather and react very quickly, because there is very little time left before the start of the championship. Recently they gathered to vote for the postponement of matches, which was opposed by the majority of clubs - I think that they will also quickly gather and vote for this issue.
And after that, finally, it will be possible to determine who will replace Dnipro-1. But even here the question is not for us. We are UPL clubs, how can we be responsible for the PFL clubs, which are now "Minai", and "Metalist 1925", and "Left Bank", and "Epicenter"? This decision should be completely from UAF", - " Tribuna" quotes Gagarin's words .
