Sports commentator Vitaliy Volochay decided to support the humanitarian fund of volunteer Serhiy Sternenko in an unusual way. While commenting on an NBA game featuring Russian player Yegor Dyomin, Volochay promised to make donations for each of the player’s mistakes. Each inaccuracy promised 1000 hryvnias, and each turnover – 500 hryvnias.
As a result of the game, where Dyomin made two failed shots and three turnovers, Volochay has to donate 4 thousand hryvnias to support the fund. Moreover, the Brooklyn Nets and New Orleans Pelicans played with a score of 119-101 in favor of the former.
The national men's basketball team of Ukraine also showed good results, defeating the teams of Georgia and Denmark. In the first qualifying round for the 2027 World Cup, Ukrainian players demonstrated confident play and showed great potential for future competitions.
