Shakhtar plays ''home'' matches in Lviv in western Ukraine because of longstanding conflict with pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk.
The final will be played on May 18 in Basel.
The draw created the possibility of all-Spanish finals in the Europa League and Champions League. Earlier Friday, the Champions League semifinal draw paired Real Madrid with Manchester City and Atletico Madrid with Bayern Munich.
