The Ukrainian Premier League match between Lviv Rukh and Alexandria has been controversially appointed a referee, Dmitry Krivushkin, according to journalist Sergei Bolotnikov. Krivushkin has been deemed the worst referee of the season and has made several dubious decisions over the course of the season. Bolotnikov believes the decision to appoint Krivushkin is an attempt to push Rukh out of the Ukrainian football elite, as the club’s owner has criticized the leadership of the Ukrainian Association of Football. The match will take place on June 4 at 15:00.
Kharkiv referee Dmitry Krivushkin was appointed to the match of the 30th round of the Ukrainian Premier League between Lviv Rukh and Alexandria.
Before the last round of the UPL, Rukh could be said to be in the transitional match zone – the Lviv club has 31 points, like Ingulets, which is in 13th place, but Rukh has the best difference between goals scored / conceded.

Whether Rukh will be relegated to the transitional match zone due to retaining his residence permit in the UPL depends on their game with Oleksandriya. Today it became known that Dmitry Krivushkin will live this match. Journalist Sergei Bolotnikov was disappointed by this appointment.
“Only a day before the overall championship deciding match, the UAF referee committee decided who would referee which match.
Of course, there are no surprises. The worst referee of the season by a large margin – Dmitry Krivushkin – was appointed to the match between Rukh and Alexandria.
According to the journalist, with this appointment, UAF wants to get rid of Rukh in the Ukrainian football elite. This may be due to the fact that the owner of Rukh Grigory Kozlovsky often criticizes the leadership of the UAF.
“This is the same referee who awarded 3 (!) penalties in the Oleksandriya vs. Kolos, unaware of the 12 players on the field in Karpaty against Prykarpattya, missed the red Blanco in the match Dnipro-1 vs. Dynamo, always refereed Inhulet matches and often took important decisions in favor of Petrovites.
In short, there is reason to believe that Rukh will be hit,” Bolotnikov wrote on the KDK telegram channel.
The match between Rukh and Alexandria will take place on June 4 and will start at 15:00.
