What to do while in Ukraine

In the final, the 23-year-old from Kyiv defeated the Olympic champion, 10-time world champion and 15-time European champion Italian Arianna Errigo (15:8).  For Sopit, this is the first medal at major international tournaments.  ▪️This is Ukraine's second award at this year's championship after Alina Komashchuk's bronze medal.

The Ukrainian was losing to the Hungarian Armin Zabados until the last attempt, who was leading the competition with a result of 79.10 m. However, Kokhan managed to snatch victory by throwing the hammer at 79.22 m. It was this result that brought the Ukrainian the gold medal of the tournament. And a few days ago, Kokhan set a personal record of 82.38 m at the gold series competitions in the USA.

After an incredible victory with a revenge (for the defeat in the final of the European Championship-2025) over the hostess of the track Sara Nutcha🇫🇷 (15:11), the 33-year-old representative of Odessa still lost in the semifinals to the medalist of the World Cups and Grand Prix Lucia Martin-Portugues🇪🇸 (15:7).  💥We note that the bronze in Anton-2026 for our Olympic champion is the seventh European Championship medal in her career, and the second personal after the silver in Genoa-2025!  💙💛Congratulations to Alina, her family, personal mentors Oleksandr Vasyutin and Artem Skorokhod, the team's senior coach Yevheniy Statsenko and the entire Ukrainian national team

On 22 April 2026, the Arbitral Tribunal established under Annex VII of the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) rendered its award on the merits in the case of Ukraine against the Russian Federation concerning the rights of a coastal state in the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait. The case was initiated by Ukraine on 14 September 2016 in connection with the Russian Federation’s violation of its obligations under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea in the waters adjacent to the coast of Crimea of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait since 2014. In its final award, the Arbitral Tribunal did not establish that the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait are the so-called “Russian lake”, but instead confirmed their status as internal waters of two States – Ukraine and the Russian Federation.  Ukraine remains a coastal state in the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov and the Kerch Strait and retains all sovereign rights granted to it by inter...

"I lived in propaganda for many years, and it also played with me. I am a person who has communicated most of my life in Russian. But since childhood, I have spoken both Russian and Ukrainian, because I started and finished school in Ukrainian. And when I gave interviews in my country after some competitions, I did it exclusively in Ukrainian. And when there were questions about why I speak Russian and not Ukrainian, I thought: "What's the difference? Well, we understand each other." Today I understand that language is your identity, it is your weapon and it is what makes you who you are. I love to live, to rejoice, to go fishing, to swim, to enjoy life. But if someone prevents me from doing this, then we gather together and reclaim our place under the sun. Ukrainians are by nature good people who want to work, live, have fun and even help if someone needs it. If someone tries to interfere with this incredible life, let them be silent.”

"Ukrainians cannot give up theirs, but we must negotiate with the Russians, because we are people. We have brains, we have the same blood, it is red. "Crimea is Ukrainian. It was taken brazenly, they came simply, took it and squeezed it out. Crimea was, is and will be Ukrainian."

🗽Kyiv: the eternal city that does not give rest to Putin  Kyiv celebrates its birthday on the last Sunday of May. For the fifth year, this day has been overshadowed by the sounds of air raids and attacks by Russian drones and missiles. But the Ukrainian capital remains a symbol of indomitable spirit and freedom.   Why Kyiv does not give peace to Putin's Russia  For Russia, Kyiv is not just a city, but a symbol of imperial ambitions. Without Kiev, imperial Russia remains only the successor of the Mongol ulus Jucha, which has grown to one-eighth of the landmass.  For Putin, the inability to subjugate Ukraine, and especially its capital, is a blow to his dream of reviving the "Russian world" and appropriating thousands of years of history and culture. Kyiv is the key to the Kremlin's imperial fantasies.    But Kyiv is not the spiritual center of the empire. Kyiv is one of the centers of European civilization and democracy. This is a city that choos...
