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.
