In the morning, Ukrzaliznitsa train No. 44 from Ivano-Frankivsk to Cherkasy had to make an unscheduled stop in Fastiv. Such stops are not uncommon these days due to the threat of drones, but this time the reason was much more pleasant. Within 3 minutes, a team of paramedics, who were waiting on the platform after the warning from the train conductor, took a happy family with +1 small passenger from the 12th car. The boy was born just before arriving in Fastiv. The train crew, together with the passengers, provided the necessary first aid.

There are many signs for such a case, but we will simply wish the baby to grow up healthy and return to our children's cars as soon as possible - we will meet him as our own 😉

Shakhtar has a chance to directly qualify for the Champions League:  Shakhtar's victory this week brought the team +2,000 points to the club rating, which brought the miners significantly closer to the Scottish Rangers.

In this case, only one win (or two draws) will be left to overtake Rangers in the rating.
