Former defender of the Ukrainian national team Artem Fedetsky assessed the ambiguous start of Zhytomyr’s "Polissya" in the 2025/26 season.

Then the results for "Polissya" will start to improve.
Here, just like in the case with "Alexandria", the players need to muster all their strength and get through this transitional period as quickly as possible.
It is also necessary to forget about the defeat to LNZ (0:2, 3rd round of the Ukrainian championship, — ed. note) and prepare for "Fiorentina" (play-off round of the Conference League qualifier, — ed. note), because there is still a chance to catch up in the championship, but such an opportunity may not arise in European competitions,” Fedetsky said.
