With the support of Aurora and other partners, competitions were held in various cities across Ukraine, bringing together hundreds of participants and creating unforgettable emotions.

On June 14, the city of Irpin hosted the “STRONG UKRAINE” veterans’ competition, supported by the Ministry of Veterans Affairs of Ukraine and the Irpin City Council. This was another qualifying stage leading up to the final selection for the STRONG SPIRIT’S GAMES 2025. We are proud that with each stage, more and more veterans – our unbreakable Heroes – are joining these sporting events, inspiring others to take up sports and motivating them to keep moving forward.

On June 27, Lutsk gathered nearly 250 representatives of Ukraine’s Defense Forces at the “Victory of the Unconquered” competition. Participants – servicemen, National Guardsmen, police officers, and rescuers – showcased their strength, endurance, and an incredible zest for life. Bench press, rowing machines, air bikes, kettlebell snatch, and seated double kettlebell press – each discipline became both a challenge and a symbol of unity. Veterans shared stories of how sports help them rehabilitate and return to a fulfilling life, while spectators wholeheartedly supported every participant.

On June 29, Korosten hosted the national “STRONG UKRAINE” competition, organized by the Ukrainian Strongman Federation together with the Ministry of Veterans Affairs of Ukraine and with support from local authorities. Once again, participants impressed with their resilience, strength, and unwavering belief in themselves. Every performance proved that the impossible becomes possible thanks to support, teamwork, and a thirst for life.

We sincerely thank everyone who joined, supported, and helped make these events a reality.
