Vitaliy Lysitsky, a former Ukraine international, responded to criticism of Dynamo Kyiv’s performances in the 2026/27 season, telling Sport.ua that the negative assessments are deserved. He said the squad contains a number of players “who do not match the level of such a club” and that Dynamo lacks qualified performers, adding the side has problems in every line.

Dynamo’s early results include wins over Kolos (2:1) and Veres (2:1), a 0:0 draw with LNZ and a surprising 0:3 loss to Bukovyna. After five rounds the team sits sixth in the UPL table with seven points and one game in hand. The club’s next fixtures are a 1/16 Ukrainian Cup match against Niva Vinnytsia on 10 September at 15:30, followed by a league game versus Epicenter on 19 September at 18:00.

The report was published by Champion, citing Sport.ua for Lysitsky’s comments.
