Despite the war and constant challenges, our athletes and coaches continue to represent Ukraine with dignity on the international stage. Their victories are not only sporting achievements, but also proof of the strength, resilience, and indomitable spirit of Donetsk region. That is why supporting athletes and coaches is an investment in a healthy nation, the country’s future, and the development of Ukrainian sport.
