On the eve of the New Year, I personally congratulated our athletes, because they are the pride of our city.

It is extremely gratifying to see how the younger generation, through their achievements, proves that Kharkiv is a city of talented, determined, and strong-spirited people.Karina and Yehor became prize winners of world draughts competitions, demonstrating not only skill and mental endurance, but also a genuine love for their craft. Their example proves that perseverance and belief in one’s own abilities always bring results, and that the achievements of Ukrainian children deserve the highest respect.Their efforts deserve support, because every victory of a young athlete is a contribution to the development of sport and to the prestige of the city and the country. We strive to ensure that such children have all the opportunities for further achievements, development, and participation in new international tournaments.Special gifts and sincere words of gratitude await the children. I am confident that those who glorify our country and hometown on the world stage deserve the warmest attention, support, and inspiration for new victories. After all, it is from such stories that the great future of Ukrainian sport begins.

It is important to stand together in dark times. Together we can change more than it seems.
