Defender of Donetsk Shakhtar Valerii Bondar commented on the results of the draw for the Round of 16 of the Ukrainian Cup, which determined Kyiv’s Dynamo as his team’s opponent at this stage of the tournament.

“To be honest, I really wanted to go to Kyiv, so we are very glad that we got Dynamo.

Isn’t it too early to meet Dynamo? I don’t think there are any manipulations. It will be all the more interesting for the Ukrainian Cup for both the viewers and for us.

But, of course, it is tough to play two paired matches against Dynamo (a few days after the match in the Ukrainian Cup, Dynamo and Shakhtar will also play against each other in the Ukrainian championship — ed. note). But it is what it is. We will be preparing,” Bondar said on the YouTube channel “Profootball Digital.”
