Ms. Heidy PURGA
Dear colleague,
Allow me to convey my utmost respect and, on behalf of the Ukrainian sports
community extend the heartfelt gratitude for your support of Ukraine during this
challenging time for our nation.
The war has become an immense challenge to the sphere of sports and
physical culture in Ukraine. The russian forces are deliberately destroying
Ukraine's civilian infrastructure, including sports facilities. Despite this, the
Ukrainian sports community remains steadfast in its resistance to russian
aggression. Thousands of athletes have already taken up arms to defend the
territorial integrity of our nation. Tragically, more than 500 have made the
ultimate sacrifice.
In such difficult times, every gesture of support from our international
partners holds profound significance. Your initiative to contribute on Ukraine’s
behalf to the UNESCO Fund for the Elimination of Doping in Sport stands as a
powerful symbol of solidarity. It reflects not only a commitment to the shared
values of fairness and integrity in sports but also a deep connection with the
Ukrainian people.
This contribution serves as a testament to genuine friendship and a reminder
that we are not alone in our fight for freedom and our future. It maintains
Ukraine’s engagement in the world anti-doping movement, even under the most
adverse conditions, and demonstrates the unity and determination of the global
anti-doping community.

From the bottom of our hearts, we are deeply grateful for this profound act of
support and look forward to your continued solidarity with the Ukrainian sports
movement. Your generosity and encouragement inspire us and strengthen our
resolve to persevere, even in the darkest of times.
Sincerely yours,
Matvii BIDNYI
Minister of Youth and Sports of Ukraine
