Students of Donetsk National Medical University honored the memory of Hero of Ukraine (posthumously), People's Hero of Ukraine Stepan Chubenko.
On November 11, 2025, Stepan Chubenko would have celebrated his 28th birthday, but he will forever remain a 16-year-old boy. For his love of Ukraine and his ideals, the young man was brutally executed by militants of the so-called "DPR" in 2014. Stepan Chubenko is a symbol of resistance, a symbol of Donetsk region's struggle for its Ukrainian future.
For the first time, DNMU held a mini-football tournament in memory of Stepan Chubenko on his birthday. Our hero was the goalkeeper of FC Avangard in Kramatorsk.
Three teams from each faculty competed, enthusiastically supported by their fans.
The results of the match were as follows:
- First place – Faculty of Medicine No. 1 team,
- 2nd place – the team of the Medical Faculty No. 2,
- 3rd place – the team of the Faculty of Pharmacy and Dentistry.
Each of the players fought hard for the honor of their team.
DNMU students were awarded diplomas and prizes.
