It is very good that the Ukrainian championship has finally started, it is good for the national team. The championship immediately started with the classics. It is clear that there was a pause, the guys lost their condition, but I'm sure they will add. The game between Shakhtar and Dynamo was interesting. The main thing was that everything was within the framework of security. In my opinion, in the championship there is good competition now in the fight for the highest places. "Shakhtar is leading by a margin, and for the second position there will be a tough fight, and let the strongest win."
