Ukraine league to resume next weekend despite crisis


KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's Premier League will kick off again on March 15 despite the political turmoil in the country that has put the championship on hold since the winter break, the football federation (FFU) said on Friday.

Shakhtar Donetsk chief executive Serhiy Palkin, who had called for the league to resume after Russia's military intervention in Crimea forced a postponement, welcomed the decision announced on the FFU website.
