Meet Oleksandr and the Ukrainian Men's Sitting Volleyball Team, who made it to the 2024 Paralympic Games in Paris. Thanks to the newly renovated Kolos Sports and Rehabilitation Complex in Reshetylivka, Poltava Oblast, Oleksandr and the team were able to train and prepare for this monumental event. The European Investment Bank supported the renovation of the Kolos Complex alongside the EU Delegation, the Ministry for Communities and Territories Development of Ukraine and UNDP. Opened in 2023 amid war, the centre has become a crucial hub for rehabilitation and sports, serving people with disabilities, professional athletes, and supporting Ukraine’s Paralympic and Deaflympic teams preparation for the Paralympics.
