After the February friendly and official (Euro 2024) matches of the Ukraine national team, changes occurred in the upper part of our national team's historical table of veterans.

Currently, as of today, half-century marks here is Viktor Tsygankov, who has played 55 matches for the national team, which allowed him to take a clear 24th place.

The leader of the registry, Andriy Yarmolenko, increased his tally — he now has 122 matches for the country's main team.

Taras Stepanenko is gradually approaching the top-7. Currently, the defensive midfielder of "Shakhtar" has played 85 matches and holds eighth place. He is already within reach of his nearest competitor, Yevhen Konoplyanka (87 matches).

Mykola Matviyenko (68) caught up with Andriy Vorobey and now shares the 12–13th step in the table.

Not far behind, on the 15th rung, is Oleksandr Zinchenko (66), who still trails the 14th Andriy Nesmachnyi (67), while on the 16th place is Roman Malynovs'kyi (64).

A bit lower, on the 18th spot, is currently Sergiy Sydorchuk (62). Between him and the defensive midfielder of Italian "Genoa" in 17th place is Vladyslav Vasychuk (63).

Roman Yaremchuk (53) has caught up with Artem Fedets'kyi in the table and now shares 27–28th places.
