It seems that people have just learned to live with it. I saw the bombing very close by and thought: this is some kind of madness. And people around just continued to go about their business, as if nothing was happening. I can't say that I was surprised by it. But I'm just shocked by how people react to all this,” said Crawford

There is no other club president in Europe who would be so devoted to the club, who would show so much love for football and for his club. It is very touching to see how he managed to make a completely abnormal situation normal for the players of his club. With all due respect to others, I do not think that this club would exist without Rinat Akhmetov,” says Čeferin. The Slovenian functionary congratulated Akhmetov on the 30th anniversary of his presidency and the 90th anniversary of the Donetsk club. The Ukrainian businessman, in turn, thanked the UEFA president for “justice.”

"I received an offer from Shakhtar. But I didn't know who 'Shakhtar' was. I didn't know where it was, what it was. I only knew it was a football club, nothing more. Well, I'm telling the truth. That's a fact. It was 2003. But I was in a difficult situation at home. There was the war, they stole our car, they bombed our house. We were living on credit, my agent, Štimac, was helping, but I wanted to provide for my family. The best offer was from Shakhtar, and I'm not going to hide that. At that time, it solved a lot for me, for me and my family. And I was very connected to my family then. My mother, my father, my brothers, now my wife, my children. That's sacred to me. I went there not for myself, but for them, to solve their life problems and so that they could live happily. After the war, after everything we went through, I told myself: 'I'm going, I'm going to fight.' I had it in my head: 'I'll go to Shakhtar, pl...

Evgeniy Khmara wears a bracelet.  Each link carries the name of a brother in arms who did not come back from this war.  He said nothing about it until I asked, over dinner in Kyiv this month, and only then explained what the links meant.  It is worth knowing what the new defense minister of Ukraine carries on his wrist into every meeting where the consequences for his country are decided.  Consider the split screen of the past week in Kyiv.  On August 18, Mykhailo Fedorov—the popular former defense minister whose dismissal in July set off the largest wartime protests since the summer of 2025—posted a video calling for Ukraine to find a way to hold elections during the war, the first such demand from a major political figure since the full-scale invasion began, and one widely read in Kyiv as laying the groundwork for a presidential campaign.  The next morning, Ukraine's Parliament confirmed Khmara as minister of defense by a constitutional majori...

Left - chronology of Russian strikes on Ukrainian warehouse infrastructure, starting from February 28, 2022.  The case is the chronology of Ukrainian attacks on Russian warehouse infrastructure.  Ukraine struck its first blow against Russian warehouses (Wildberries) on July 18, 2026.  By that time, Russia had been hammering Ukrainian warehouses with impunity for four and a half years.  Separately, pay attention to the Russian strikes since May 31 of this year - in just over a month, Russia has struck nine strikes against Ukrainian warehouses, that is, on average, they hit twice a week.  And only after a month with more continuous strikes, Ukraine finally hit the Wildberries for the first time.  Moreover, the list of Russian strikes here is far from complete - there was, for example, a strike on Ukrainian warehouses on May 24, which is not marked on the schedule.  In general, this is only a very small and very selective list of Russian strik...

This happened less than two weeks after LSU Tigers signed Russian player Anna Minaeva, who previously played professionally for Moscow club MBA. “We talked about this for a long time, and it was a difficult decision for her.

We all wish her all the best,” said team coach Kim Mulkey. Kateryna Koval’s father serves in the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The famous American appeared in an embroidered vyshyvanka at the boxing stars parade in New York, dedicated to 29-year-old Bruce Carrington. Zab Judah and Shannon Briggs were also among the guests of the event.  The Ukrainian theme is of special importance to Tyson. In his childhood, he was raised by a Ukrainian woman, Camilla Ewald, who was born in the Ternopil region. She was the common-law wife of the legendary trainer Cas D'Amato. In 1981, Cas D'Amato and Camilla Ewald officially adopted Mike Tyson. It was under their care that he began his great journey in boxing, which led him to the status of the absolute world heavyweight champion. 🏆 🇺🇦 Today, Tyson once again demonstrated a special connection with Ukraine

“I send my best wishes to this wonderful country, full of hardworking and wonderful people,” said Mauricio Suleiman.

You don’t have to solve 100% problems to get good results Previously, anxiety was a big problem for me. I could spend almost an hour just thinking about how low my score was, how I couldn’t handle it. It prevented me from thinking about the problems normally and became a big obstacle. Regarding strategy, the advice I remembered the most was this: in IOI, if you look at the statistics of previous years’ results, stable, although not high, results on each problem often give a higher ranking in total. That is, for good results, it is not at all necessary to solve 100% problems; you can simply complete many relatively simple partial blocks. You should read each problem, think for three minutes, and immediately write code from everything you came up with. And then think for another ten minutes and write code again. And when this is done for all three problems, you already have a good understanding of what makes sense to work on next. But the anxiety did not let go.  I starte...

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a meeting with former absolute world champion in three weight categories Terence Crawford (42-0, 31 KOs). “Today, the legendary American boxer Terence Crawford is in Ukraine. He has been supporting our country, our people since the first days of the war. We greatly appreciate the fact that such people are close to Ukrainians. As a sign of solidarity, Terence presented an American Pit Bull Terrier puppy, a girl named Freya. Her grandfather Athos survived the Russian occupation of Bucha, and now Freya is named after the future FREYJA air defense system as a symbol of our defense. Thank you for the meeting and this very warm and special gift. Thank you for your support and respect for our people,” Zelenskyy wrote. 38-year-old Terence is the first boxer in the era of four prestigious titles who managed to become the absolute champion in three different divisions.  The American announced his retirement in December of last ye...

Denys Berinchyk and his team are already in London and ready to fight Sam Noakes🔥 Media events will start in London tomorrow

Details of the visit have not yet been disclosed. At the same time, according to the source, a busy program awaits Crawford in the capital.

"Occupied Donetsk, the abandoned Donbas Arena, once one of the best stadiums in Europe, is completely overgrown with weeds In order not to mow the grass, they put up signs warning of explosive objects."

Oleksandr Chernyshev and Maksym Kovalchuk won silver in the men's relay at the World Championships in Madrid, scoring 1436 points.

For the first time in his career, a Ukrainian topped the World Athletics world ranking in high jump, scoring 1,329 points. Doroshchuk is only the second Ukrainian in history to reach the top of the world ranking after Yaroslava Maguchykh. A native of Kropyvnytskyi is the top-1 in the world!

One of the features of the Ukrainian resistance is that the Ukrainians, as it were, reversed the famous formula of Thucydides (in the mouth of the Athenians, if more precisely) from the "Melos dialogue": "The strong do what they can, and the weak tolerate what they must."  Looking back today at the entire period of the full-scale invasion (which the Kremlin expected to complete in weeks, if not days, and which has already lasted longer than the Second World War), you can see how the Ukrainians reinvented a new formula for themselves, two and a half thousand years after Thucydides:  The "strong" does only what the degree of resistance of the "weak" allows.  And this formula is not limited only to the struggle of Ukrainians. 

This is the right to determine for ourselves what our country will be like: what Independence Day and the Ukrainian flag really mean 35 years ago, on August 24, 1991, at an extraordinary session of the Verkhovna Rada of the Ukrainian SSR, the Act of Proclamation of Independence of Ukraine was adopted. This document became a cornerstone and not accidental in the modern history of our state. The text of the Act of Independence was created on the morning of August 24 in the parliament building, showing determination and courage, together with other deputies, by Levko Lukyanenko and Leontiy Sandulyak. It should be noted that our path to independence was winding and took more than one hundred years. Only in the 20th century did independence become proclaimed in 1918, 1939 and 1941.  In 1991, the centuries-old struggle of many generations of Ukrainians for a free Ukraine was crowned with the proclamation of Independence. Independence Day is not just a date on the calendar. It...

From the Israeli forest "Ukraine": Director General of the Jewish National Fund — Keren Kaemet le-Israel (ENF-KKL) "Eurasia" Ihal Yasinov congratulates Ukraine on Independence Day.   Since its creation in 1901, ENF-KKL has planted more than 240 million trees in Israel, with its assistance more than 230 reservoirs and dams were created, as well as thousands of parks, forest parks, groves and recreation areas.  The "Ukraine" forest is located in the south of Israel, in the Negev, and occupies about 120 hectares.   The project was officially formalized in 2015, and in April 2016, one of the key tree planting ceremonies took place there with the participation of the Embassy of Ukraine and ENF-KKL — the Ukrainian site is part of the larger Dorot forest massif.  It became the first major forest project in Israel dedicated to the second state.

For any personality, for any position, for any power. It was before us. It is today. And it will be after us. Because Ukraine is not just the name of the state. It is what we put into this word: freedom, dignity, responsibility for our future. Ukrainians reminded the world that freedom is not a declaration. And not beautiful words that sound good in speeches. Freedom is something for which sometimes you have to pay the highest price. And that is why Ukraine has become a test not only for itself, but also for the world. A test of the correspondence of words to actions. Of the readiness to defend the principles that the democratic world has been talking about for decades. We have already paid for our place in this world with the sweat, blood and tears of millions of Ukrainians. And whatever the result of the struggle of individual politicians, Ukraine will remain. Because politicians come and go. Positions change.  The powers end. But the country remains. Ukraine is bigger than all o...

This February marked 30 years since the Ukrainian flag was raised over the former British Faraday station, and the station became the Academician Vernadsky. “We thank our defenders for allowing us to conduct research under our native flag at the edge of the world for over 30 years. For all polar explorers, it is a great honor to raise the Ukrainian flag on the flagpole near Vernadsky and then take it home. To cherish it as a relic. To pass it on as an inheritance.”

 The flag of Ukraine is carried through fire and blood, marking not only the struggle of the state for its existence, but also the genesis of the entire nation.  Nations are not born by decrees - they are born in torment, in flames, in a whirlwind of struggle.  Be proud and love your flag, dear Ukrainians.   He is the one who is real - carried through sacrifices, deprivations, courage and honor.  Because of fears and doubts - proudly roaring, despite and spite.  There are few nations on our planet that have such a great right.

The Ukrainian cleared 2.00 m in her last attempt and outpaced her compatriot Iryna Gerashchenko, who cleared 1.98 and won silver 🥈 Yaroslava continues the competition, the next level is 2.02! Two Ukrainians on top of the podium in Silesia!
