Ukraine's pride
This year's Olympic Games are incredibly important for our country—the eyes of the world will be on our athletes. These are the athletes who, despite the war, rockets, and alarms, have not given up and are fighting for victory. This year, our athletes will be fighting not only for titles but also to show that they are symbols of unwavering will and courage, demonstrating to the world the unbreakable spirit of Ukraine in the face of trials.
The Ukrainian jewelry brand Dukachi has organized and sponsored a project with the Ukrainian Gymnastics Federation to highlight and showcase the strength of the Olympic rhythmic gymnastics team, the resilience of our Ukrainian athletes, their endurance, and the strength of character they display every day on their journey to the Olympic Games. This team is the pride of Ukraine, as they strengthen the country's reputation on the international stage. In these challenging times for the country, we understand how important it is to support our champions and tell their stories.
