It is worth noting that the Ukrainian team is ranked higher than the English Championship winner Burnley, which is sixth.

Polissia is the leader of the Ukrainian First League. A victory over Kremin in the next match will secure the team's place in the top tier of Ukrainian football for the 2023/2024 season ahead of schedule.

Earlier, NV reported that Russian looters were selling the Zorya Cup, which was won by Zorya Luhansk for winning the First League.

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.
