Ukrainian football players gather in Kiev: the latest news from the national team camp
Today the national team of Ukraine gathered in Kyiv for this year's final training camp. The capital residence of the national team was the Hyatt Regency Hotel.
The boys arrived at the location at noon - just before noon. Delicious Ukrainian borsch from chef Lubomyr Toshich immediately gives a feeling of cozy atmosphere and emotional comfort. Those players of the national team who play abroad are especially waiting for this dish. For example, Ruslan Malinowski, who arrived from Brussels today, ate a portion of the national dish with taste and summed up: "Borsch is respectable, it feels like I'm at home."
