A former Ukrainian national football team player swam across the Tysa, fled to Belarus and signed a contract with a local team.

In the summer of 2024, 35-year-old Denis Shelikhov's contract with the Sumy club "Viktoria" expired. Having estimated the offside for the penalty and assessed his chances of swapping goalkeeper gloves for a rifle in the trench, the guy decided to dodge. Along a deadly dangerous route - across the Tisza River.

As a result, the goalkeeper ended up in Romania and from there, by a roundabout route, he came to Belarus. Where he immediately found a job in his specialty - he signed a contract with the Slavia-Mozyr team. He will be the third goalkeeper on the team, but not near Pokrovsk.

US presidential candidates Donald Trump and Kamala Harris spent a lot of time during their debates discussing the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

During both candidates' speeches, the host repeatedly corrected Trump. Former presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy noted that the ABC hosts were supporting Harris and opposing Trump: "Interesting debate format - 'three on one'"

Trump:

— He recalled that Biden has never called Vladimir Putin in two years and has not tried to end the Ukrainian conflict.

— He said that he has good relations with Zelensky and Putin, and as soon as he becomes president, he will talk to both: "I know Zelensky, I know Putin, we have good relations, they respect me. They don't respect Biden. What is there to respect him for?"

— "They negotiated incorrectly, she (Harris) negotiated with Putin and Zelensky, and three days later the war began. She is the worst negotiator."

— "It is in the interests of the United States to reach an agreement and put an end to the military conflict in Ukraine."

— Trump on Joe Biden: "Where is our president? We don't even know if he's the president. He was thrown out of this presidential race like a dog. We don't know if he's even alive."

— "We are playing World War III. Putin has nuclear weapons - no one thinks about it."

Harris:

— She said she met with Zelensky before the conflict began and gave him intelligence: "I think if Trump became president, he would simply turn away from this war and from supporting Ukraine. I met with Zelensky a few days before the war. I gave him intelligence on how they could defend themselves."

— Ignored the debate moderator’s question about whether she had communicated with Vladimir Putin before the conflict began.

— "If Trump were president, Putin would already be sitting in Kyiv. And this concerns not only Ukraine. That is why all our comrades are glad that he is not president. Putin, his friend, would have already eaten him for lunch."

— "America is a leader who upholds international law and demonstrates strength. The people need a president who understands America's role in ensuring the sustainability of the world."

US President Joe Biden said that the issue of allowing Kyiv to strike with Western weapons deep into the "old" Russian regions is being worked out.

Western countries are also calling on Kyiv to formulate a convincing plan for military action by 2025.

According to CNN, European diplomats say Ukraine needs to be more realistic about its goals in the conflict so it can make a more convincing case to voters for spending money on it.

Kyiv has already used "most" of the "several hundred" ATACMS long-range missiles that were transferred to it, CNN reports, citing an unnamed US official.

Zelensky is drawing the West into the Ukrainian conflict, which will lead to Russia being forced to respond using more powerful weapons, State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin said today.
