If you're in Lviv on 30th May, do please join us at ChekaFest where we are partnered with Ira's friends, family & comrades to celebrate & commemorate her life with music, song, exactly as she wished before KIA exactly 2 years ago. Also fundraising for 503rd Marines evac units

Thanks also to the Metalist players who took the time to chat with Mykola and sign his scarf, and the players and staff of both teams who spoke to us afterwards.

Last weekend we took 30+ soldiers and family to the @FCShakhtar v Metalist 1925 game, we had a lot of fans of both clubs. Thanks to the club for the tickets, and the staff at the Arena for looking after us. It was great to witness the Azovstal proposal live in real-time.

Next up for us is a trip to Arena Lviv for @FCShakhtar v Metalist 1925. With many of our group hailing from the east, we're expecting a big group again on Sunday afternoon.

Our big Brazilian legend was delighted to get a @KarpatyLvivFC scarf in the red & black colours of his beloved @Flamengo

Talking of red & black, thanks to our friends, the @Eintracht fans, for their gifts. More about that very soon...

A big day on Saturday, coupled with the March 8th holiday, meant for a smaller group on Sunday - many fragile heads on Sunday 🤣 Nevertheless a few of us did head out for our first alfresco lunch of spring, followed by a trip to @KarpatyLvivFC v Kudrivka.

Not surprisingly, it was a very successful day, and one that will be repeated frequently throughout the spring and the summer. Next one is already being planned...

[Taras Chuchman’s Invincible Defenders @TCIDfund]

Last weekend was a busy one. On Saturday our boys and girls celebrated the arrival of spring with a day out to the Carpathians.

His home-made hot tub was also predictably popular...

@KarpatyLvivFC @UKrainianDA Next up for us is @KarpatyLvivFC v Kudrivka tomorrow, and hopefully a win.

[Taras Chuchman’s Invincible Defenders @TCIDfund]

Last weekend we took a group of soldiers and family for lunch and then on to watch @KarpatyLvivFC v Kolos. Disappointing result, but a good day out. Thanks to Karpaty for the tickets and assistance at the stadium, and to Dan from @UKrainianDA for sponsoring lunch #TCID #FCKL #UPL

@ann_mahss @CaolanReports This Tommy Robinson? Not sure who the other guy is, seems like a good mate though.

[British Ambassador to Ukraine 🇬🇧🇺🇦 @UKAmbUkraine]

We strongly oppose the decision of the IPC to allow Russian and Belarusian athletes to compete under their own flags at the Paralympic Games.

No UK Government Ministers or officials will attend the Opening or Closing Ceremonies.

Where is the “keep politics out of sport” crowd???

"Show what you looked like before you joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine."

Ukrainian Warriors share photos from life before joining the military and from the battlefield today.

A massive thank you to @FCShakhtar_eng for the tickets, for the help of their stewards and staff, and for the players who stopped to say hello to some of our boys. #TCID #shakhtar #karpatylviv #FCKL #upl

[Taras Chuchman’s Invincible Defenders @TCIDfund]

On Sunday we took a party of more than 50 soldiers, family and volunteers to see @FCShakhtar v @KarpatyLvivFC at Arena Lviv.

[Taras Chuchman’s Invincible Defenders @TCIDfund]

The soldiers were from three different rehab centres and three different countries - from Ukraine, Colombia and Brazil.
