As a result of another nighttime airstrike by Russian occupation forces, the office of the Kyiv Region Boxing Federation sustained damage. According to information reported by Sport RBC.UA, citing a Facebook post by the organization's president, Julian Moskalenko, the premises were hit by a powerful blast wave following the impact of an enemy munition. Published footage shows broken window glass, damaged frames, and debris in the area outside the building.
Damage and Management Reaction
Julian Moskalenko personally detailed the aftermath of the shelling and published photographs of the damaged building. In his address, he emphasized that opening this facility was an important step for the development of children's and youth sports in the region, and the team had invested significant labor and resources into the space. «It hurts to see the aftermath of the destruction. But our determination to keep working is stronger. We are Ukrainians. We know how to take a punch, support each other, and rise after the hardest trials. We are not so easily broken,» the federation head stated.
Recovery Plans
The head of the regional federation assured that the team is already preparing to restore the premises and has no intention of pausing the implementation of sports projects. The organization aims to continue supporting the coaching staff, providing conditions for young athletes to train, and preparing young boxers for performances on all-Ukrainian and international arenas.
Context and Gratitude
In his post, Moskalenko also expressed gratitude to the Defense Forces of Ukraine for their protection and the opportunity to rebuild civilian infrastructure. The publication separately notes that reports had previously emerged about a strike on a sports symbol in Kamianske, indicating a recurring pattern of damage to sports infrastructure facilities in the region amid ongoing airstrikes.
