The Victoriia Sumy Herald
Match15 Aug 2026
Victoriia Sumy taken apart
0‑3 to Bukovyna, and it was every bit as bad as the number suggests. There are defeats you argue about and defeats you apologise for; this was the second kind.

Victoriia Sumy say no — this time
The offer from Rukh for Denys Dolinskyi was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Dmytro Ulianov in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Victoriia Sumy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
Victoriia Sumy rebuffed over Rostyslav Liakh
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Karpaty have kept their man, and Victoriia Sumy go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Maksym Sasovskiy gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Squad17 Aug 2026
No place for Bohdan Biloshevskyi in the new shape
He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Victoriia Sumy are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
Nobody left the Victoriia Sumy dressing room in a hurry
The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

Denys Boyko answers for it
“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑3, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.
The dugout17 Aug 2026
The manager has not finished forgetting Vladyslav Khameliuk's mistake
Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.
In brief
- Transfer targets A loan move for Vitalii Lobko is in the works
- Player ratings Vladyslav Khameliuk gives it away
- Squad The weekend belonged to Oleksandr Lebedenko
