“Of course, I wanted prize places, especially since I have already finished fourth three times. I want to take a step forward. But we gave 100% in this season. Of course, not everything worked out, but in terms of dedication, I think there are no questions for anyone.

We fulfilled the minimum that we could achieve. Of course, if I could go back, I would want more. But the season was so unstable that fourth place now is a success that gives us the right to play in European competitions again. Therefore, of course, the emotions are positive. We found ourselves in such a situation that fourth place is a good result for us,” said Volynets in a comment to the press service of “Polesie”.
