Ukrainian football stars — Oleksandr Zinchenko and Andriy Shevchenko — will captain the teams of the charity match, and recruit other star players to take part.

"Piqué is considered one of the best defenders of his era, we are thrilled to have Gerard join us," the message reads.
The game is scheduled on Aug. 5 at Stamford Bridge in London.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
