Additionally, the UAF President met with two 15-year-old boys, Ivan and Arthur, who were injured in a Russian shelling of Kharkiv’s Saltivka district on May 8.
"Despite their injuries, they have not lost their spirit, which deeply impressed me. The people of Kharkiv are an indomitable force! The Ukrainian Association of Football will assist the boys with rehabilitation and prosthetics so they can attend the matches of the national team of Ukraine," said Andriy Shevchenko.
