A pupil of the Kharkov physical education school, who signed a contract with Shakhtar and was sent to rent in Mariupol, is pleased with the way his career is going on.

"I am not embarrassed by the fourth year that I spend in Mariupol," Vakulenko said in an interview with Kharkiv's UFC Olympics website. - We must take into account the financial situation in Ukrainian football. They pay there, they do not get paid there, but behind me is Shakhtar, who pays on time and is calculated on all obligations day in day out. Sometimes there is a desire to try myself in another club, but Shakhtar has such a policy - to keep those in whom they see the prospect. I'm not complaining, just stating a fact. However, twice during my stay in Mariupol, I went to gatherings with Shakhtar ".

"The most important thing for me now is to have conditions for soccer. If we consider the conditions in Mariupol that according to the conditions for training and preparation our club is second only to Shakhtar and Dynamo.

My rent is calculated for another year, and the contract with Shakhtar - for another two and a half years. But while I do not look so far, but I want to get to Mariupol in the first six. And by the terms, and by the composition, we deserve to be there. I do not want to hang out there ".

This season, Vakulenko held in the composition of Mariupol 15 matches in all tournaments, which scored 3 goals.
