Leaders of the Ukrainian Vbet League, Donetsk's "Shakhtar" and Kyiv's "Dynamo," continue their charitable tours during which they play friendly matches against European clubs. The main goal of these events is to raise funds for humanitarian aid for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people suffering as a result of Russian aggression.

"Shakhtar" once again held a charity match against a Turkish club, this time it was "Antalyaspor." The miners took the field wearing jerseys with a tribute to 3-month-old Kira Glodan, who died along with her mother and grandmother in Odessa as a result of Russian military shelling. Underneath the photo was written How many more? (Скільки ще?), as today over 200 Ukrainian children have already become victims of Russia's aggression.

The match was started with a symbolic kick from the center by "Dynamo" academy graduate Mykita Semenov, who, like thousands of other children, had to leave Ukraine due to military aggression. The game itself was full of events and ended with a victory for Kyiv's team at 3-2.
