The Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine is developing a project for the construction of an ice arena in Kyiv on the grounds of the Ivan Poddubny Olympic Professional College—a separate structural unit of the National University of Physical Education and Sports of Ukraine.
“Equipment salvaged from Kherson, which was previously purchased with 70 million hryvnias from the state budget, has already been transferred for the future arena. It has been preserved, is in working condition, and can be used once the necessary infrastructure is in place. The next step should be the construction of a frame-type arena. The relevant project has already been developed and is currently undergoing expert review, which is scheduled to be completed by August 1 of this year,” the ministry stated in a report following a visit to the college by representatives of the Ministry of Sports and the State Agency “Ukrsportobezpechennia.”
It is noted that the launch of the ice arena will allow the college to open two new winter sports departments—short track and figure skating.
“This approach will improve the training of winter sports athletes, taking into account, in particular, the lessons learned from the current Winter Olympic Games,” the ministry noted.
The ministry notes that this is not just about a single facility, but about introducing a more systematic approach to restoring sports infrastructure in Ukraine.
In particular, a mechanism for attracting additional funding through the Sports Recovery Foundation is being developed for this purpose.
On Wednesday, May 27, the capital’s Parkovy Exhibition and Convention Center hosted the SBC Summit Ukraine, the All-Ukrainian conference on sports marketing, for the first time.

The summit took place simultaneously on two stages, featuring over 60 leading experts in the fields of sports, business, and media who are driving the industry forward today. The event served as a platform for candid dialogue on reforms, major investments, the survival of sports during wartime, attracting sponsors, integrating new technologies, rehabilitating veterans, and building athletes’ personal brands off the field.
Speakers on the main stage included: Matvii Bidnyi, Minister of Youth and Sports of Ukraine; Vadym Guttsait, President of the National Olympic Committee of Ukraine; Olga Saladukha, President of the Ukrainian Athletics Federation; Yulia Khan, Director of the Department of Youth and Sports at the Kyiv City State Administration; Ukrainian soccer legend Oleksandr Shovkovskyi; Ihor Marynych, Director of Adidas Ukraine; sports blogger and founder of Trendets Camp Dmytro Povooznyuk, CEO of Lenovo in Ukraine Taras Dzhamalov, President of the Ukrainian Premier League Yevhen Dykyi, Ukrainian and Turkish soccer champion and creator of a YouTube project Denys Boiko, MEGOGO journalist Oleksandra Kucherenko, Vice President of the NOC of Ukraine and President of the Ukrainian Padel Federation Oleksiy Dniprov, Olympic fencing champion Olena Kravatska, 6-time Ukrainian track and field champion and Biopell ambassador Daria Stavnycha, FC Shakhtar goalkeeper coach Andriy Pyatov, Olympic judo medalist Daria Bilodid, founder of the rhythmic gymnastics academy and Olympic bronze medalist Anna Rizatdinova, WowBody App owner Anita Lutsenko, three-time Olympic canoeing medalist Lyudmila Luzan, and others.

“Holding the summit at the Parkovy Exhibition and Convention Center was our big dream, and I am truly proud that we managed to make it happen, even amid the war. This event has become the largest in our history, as we have broken absolutely all of our own records for the number of speakers, guests, and partners. When you see how this powerful synergy of sports, business, and media is working at full capacity on such a platform, you realize that nothing is impossible for our industry.
Our goal remains unchanged—to create a space for open dialogue, major investments, the emergence of new technological use cases, and collaborations that drive the industry forward. In today’s environment, maintaining this momentum and uniting sports and business is of the utmost importance. But, of course, we wouldn’t have achieved such an impressive scale without our reliable partners, the Club’s large community, and our strong team. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this story—and see you soon!” – Alexey Braga, CEO of Sport&Business Club.

A petition is currently being circulated in Kyiv calling on authorities to prevent the closure of the Family Medicine Center located at 14-B Sribnokilska Street in the Poznyaki neighborhood.
Petition No. 14210 has been registered on the Kyiv City Council website. Its authors are asking city officials to keep the clinic open and ensure the continued operation of the medical facility at this address.
At the time of writing, the petition had gathered 2,700 signatures out of the required 6,000. Another 3,300 signatures are needed for the petition to be considered.
You can support the petition at the following link: https://petition.kyivcity.gov.ua/petition/?pid=14210
For residents of Poznyaky, this center is a vital primary care facility. According to local media, the clinic serves approximately 15,000 patients. This includes, in particular, children, the elderly, and residents with limited mobility, for whom access to medical care close to home is of particular importance.
Supporting the petition is important because closing or repurposing the clinic could make it harder to see family doctors, increase the burden on other healthcare facilities in the Darnytskyi district, and create additional difficulties for patients who regularly seek primary care.
The authors of the petition also urge that no decision regarding the future of the facility be made without open discussion with the community and without a clear alternative for district residents.
