Sport is a bridge between the war and civilian life

Veterans returning from combat often come back with not only heroic memories, but also physical and mental trauma

Sport helps veterans on their way home:

✅ distract from intrusive memories

✅ feel strong and healthy

✅ believe in their abilities again and feel their own value

The Ukrainian Veterans Foundation of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs is a provider of productive civilian life for veterans. We consider different ways of reintegration. One of them is sport.

🔵 Today we start publishing a series of materials in partnership with the leading Ukrainian sports publishing house Tribuna.com.

Together with Tribuna.com, we plan to:

🔹 talk about sports events dedicated to veteran sports

🔹 publish interviews with veteran athletes about their journey and results

This cooperation is a logical consequence of a deep understanding of the psychological and social challenges faced by veterans. The government, NGOs, defenders, veterans – everyone will find something important in these materials.

The Ukrainian Veterans Foundation is actively moving to popularize veteran sports across the country.
