   Nyva Vinnytsia was not relegated as Olexandria has folded 
in the Premier League.
   Prykarpattya Ivano-Frankivsk was bought out by LUKOIL, the main 
sponsor of LUKOR Kalush, and the new management recognized it as 
the first team of one club with  LUKOR being its second. One a paper
LUKOR got promoted and Prykarpattya Ivano-Frankivsk got relegated, 
but the truth is that the teams stayed in their divisions.
   Sokil Zolochiv has folded.

Legend:

	- Promoted
