Rinat Akhmetov has always harbored the secret dream of keeping his best players to fuel his European ambitions.

But the president of Shakhtar Donetsk knows very well that all this makes little sense at the time of war.

The latter was therefore delighted with the 100 million euros invested by Chelsea for his player, Mykhaïlo Mudryk, and the bright future promised to the young man of 22 years.

"I am happy for Mykhaylo and proud of him," he said in a statement.

This guy leads by example, showing that talent and hard work can make the impossible possible.

I am absolutely convinced that the whole of Europe will acclaim the brilliant Mykhaylo.

Support for Mariupol soldiers

With this in mind, the head of Shakhtar launched the “Heart of Azovstal” project, to help the soldiers of Mariupol.

“This project is intended to help the defenders of Mariupol and the families of fallen soldiers.

Their acts of bravery are unprecedented in modern history.

It was they, their sacrifice and their courage that helped contain the enemy in the first months of the war and made us all feel the character of Ukraine's victory.

And to conclude.

“Today I am allocating 1 billion hryvnias (about 25.3 million euros) to help our soldiers and defenders, as well as their families.

They will address various needs - from medical treatment, to psychological assistance, to the implementation of targeted requests.
