Honorary President of Dnipro-1 Yuri Bereza commented on the results draw of the semi-finals of the Cup of Ukraine, according to which his team had to play with Dynamo:

- There are no weak teams in the semifinals of the Cup of Ukraine. Today, one of the strongest clubs is Shakhtar. It didn't happen to us, so we have a chance. The main thing is that Dnipro-1 showed a good game, and our fans were not ashamed of the team.

We promise a football holiday at Dnipro Arena. This is the main thing, that's why we play. I would like to invite all citizens, residents of the region and the country to support "Dnipro-1" at our stadium. In the near future we will determine when the match will take place. The base date is April 18. 

— When the rival between Dynamo and Mariupol was chosen according to the procedure, were you worried?

- Dnipro-1 faces the highest tasks, namely to play in the final. Appropriate training will be provided. There is no difference in who dropped out, because all clubs are strong. You need to go out on the field and play.

— When will you prepare the lawn?

- We are already preparing it. If there was no snow, the condition of the field would be almost perfect. However, precipitation will not worsen the situation. The management of the club and the agronomic service of the stadium guarantee ideal conditions both in the semifinals and in the finals.

— Dmytro Mykhaylenko played for both Dynamo and Dnipro. Will this match be important for him?

- On the other hand, Ruslan Rotan and Denis Boyko will come out against us. This is football, and we will see whose side the football god will be on.
