Top-flight football has returned in Ukraine today, with Shakhtar Donetsk currently facing Metalist 1925 in 's Olympic Stadium as 's invasion of the country continues. The fixture - the first in the Ukrainian since mid-December - is poignant enough anyway, but the date adds even more significance to this remarkable restart. Today is Ukraine's Day of the National Flag. Tomorrow, August 24, will mark six months since Vladimir 's 'special military operation' began, but it is also Ukrainian Independence Day. There is not a more fitting time to show that Ukraine will not surrender.
