On the eve of the start of the Ukrainian championship for the 2022/2023 season, I am pleased to note that at the beginning of its preparation, when it seemed impossible, we were inspired by the example of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. We saw how soldiers on the front heroically held off the occupiers, liberating Ukrainian land meter by meter from the enemy, and this gave us strength. The bravery of the military strengthened our faith that we could revive football in Ukraine. Because football is needed for the military and millions of our fans. Therefore, we continue to support the Armed Forces and be inspired by their heroic example in everything!
