It should be noted that the World Volleyball Championship, which takes place in Slovenia and Poland, is currently underway.. However, before the competition was hosted by the Russian Federation.

In addition to the fact that the aggressor country was deprived of the right to host the world championship, their team also lost the opportunity to participate in these competitions. Instead of them, it was the Ukrainian team that was invited.

Plotnitsky, in a comment for the Channel 24 website, spoke about the postponement of the competition and the removal of the national team from the enemy country.

" When we went out in the outfit of the national team, we often heard " They probably already learned our slogans. A lot of people support us, and this, of course, gives strength and understanding that we are not alone, and victory will be ours.

The current world championship for the Ukrainian team was the second in history. In 1998, the Blue-Yellows took 10th place, so the result at the 2022 World Cup is the best in the history of our team.

Recall that the Ukrainian national volleyball team advanced to the playoffs of the 2022 World Cup from the second place.. In the opening match of the tournament, the wards of Ugis Krastins lost to the Serbs (0:3), then defeated Tunisia (3:0) and confidently beat Puerto Rico (3:1). In the 1/8 finals, the "
