- "We managed to assemble very powerful teams, in particular, thanks to the organized work of our partners in Poland, Mykola Shpakovsky, Veronika Marchuk and Krzysztof Roszak. Special thanks to Oleh Sobutskyi and the Ukrainian football veterans' team, who formed the basis of our team.
In addition, as always, we were supported by the national team, Mykhailo Mudryk, Roman Yaremchuk, Andriy Lunin, and Serhiy Rebrov provided lots for the auctions, and the team's press attaché Sashko Hlyvinsky ensured perfect communication between volunteers and players.
As a result, we plan to buy at least 3 ambulances. The collection is not over yet. Today, on Saturday, at 16:00, there will be a big meeting of football stars and fans at Robert Levandovsky's NINE's restaurant, where the fundraising will continue. Afterwards, fans, veterans and volunteers will go to Narodnyi Stadium with a large banner "NO FOOTBALL EURO WITHOUT UKRAINE" painted by Shevchenko Prize-winning artist Andriy Yarmolenko, a concept developed by journalist Leonid Veselkov and anarcho-capitalist Dmytro Dubas. This banner has already been on the stands of stadiums in Prague, Rome, Leverkusen, and Wroclaw during our national team's matches, and it is a reminder to everyone why and for whom we are playing football now.
