"The ice rink... It's not just a building... It's a second home for our club after 2014... It's hundreds of children's competitions, dozens of international tournaments, children's smiles... It's the largest hockey and figure skating school in Ukraine... These are people who have created joy for all 8 years since the beginning of the war... I do not have any words..."
