All rights reserved Ukraine (AP) — President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday that they had a constructive call about moving toward a ceasefire between Kyiv and Moscow with the White House suggesting that the U.S take control of Ukrainian power plants to ensure their security Trump told Zelenskyy that the U.S could be “very helpful in running those plants with its electricity and utility expertise,” according to a White House statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and national security adviser Mike Waltz that described the call as “fantastic.” Trump added that “American ownership of those plants could be the best protection for that infrastructure.” Zelenskyy requested additional Patriot defense missile systems Rubio and Waltz said Trump “agreed to work with him to find what was available The call between Trump and Zelenskyy came a day after the U.S leader held similar talks with Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin Putin made clear to Trump during that call that there must be a cessation of foreign military aide and intelligence sharing as part of any deal But White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday underscored that U.S “intelligence sharing in terms of defense for Ukraine” would continue Trump’s call with Zelenskyy was about half the length of his call Tuesday during which Putin agreed not to target Ukraine’s energy infrastructure but refused to back a full 30-day ceasefire Trump said his call with Zelenskyy was to “align both Russia and Ukraine in terms of their requests and needs” as he seeks to bring a halt to fighting Zelenskyy’s call with Trump comes at a fraught moment for Ukraine as Trump has made clear that quickly ending the war is a top priority for the start of his new administration leaders had a disastrous Oval Office meeting late last month that led to Trump temporarily pausing intelligence sharing and military aid for Ukraine Trump has repeatedly complained about the cost of the conflict — the U.S has sent Ukraine more than $180 billion in military and economic aid since the start of the war State Department confirmed in a statement Wednesday that it has cut funding for the Ukraine Conflict Observatory a Yale University spearheaded organization that has been tracking alleged Russian war crimes including the mass abduction of Ukrainian children during the conflict Zelenskyy said Putin’s limited ceasefire pledge was “very much at odds with reality” following an overnight barrage of drone strikes across the country after Putin’s conversation with … Trump when Putin said that he was allegedly giving orders to stop strikes on Ukrainian energy including on energy facilities,” Zelenskyy said at a news conference in Helsinki with Finnish President Alexander Stubb Russia responded by saying it had halted its targeting of Ukraine’s energy facilities and accused Kyiv of attacking equipment near one of its pipelines we see that for now there is no reciprocity on the part of the Kyiv regime,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said The White House described the call between Trump and Putin as the first step in a “movement to peace” that Washington hopes will include a maritime ceasefire in the Black Sea and eventually a full and lasting end to the fighting But there was no indication that Putin backed away from his conditions for a prospective peace deal said that Putin’s demands during the call with Trump would amount to “Ukrainian capitulation.” “Putin is attempting to hold the temporary ceasefire proposal hostage in order to extract preemptive concessions ahead of formal negotiations to end the war,” the ISW said in an analysis of readouts from the calls Stubb called the discussions between Putin and Trump a step in the right direction but Finland’s president said that Russia needs to end its aggression “There are only two ways to respond to the proposal of the president of the United States: it’s a yes or a no — no buts “Ukraine accepted a ceasefire without any forms of conditions we need to increase our efforts to strengthen Ukraine and ratchet up pressure on Russia to convince them to come to the negotiating table.” WATCH: Trump and Putin agree to pause strikes on energy infrastructure in Ukraine war Waltz said on social media that he and his Russian counterpart, Yuri Ushakov, agreed Wednesday that their teams would meet soon in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, “to focus on implementing and expanding the partial ceasefire President Trump secured from Russia.” It was not immediately clear who would be part of the delegations or if Ukrainian officials were also invited to take part in the Saudi Arabia talks. Shortly after the call between Trump and Putin on Tuesday, air raid sirens sounded in Kyiv, followed by explosions as residents took shelter. Despite efforts to repel the attack, several strikes hit civilian infrastructure, including two hospitals, a railway and more than 20 houses, Zelenskyy said. Russian drones were reported over Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Chernihiv, Poltava, Kharkiv, Kirovohrad, Dnipropetrovsk, and Cherkasy regions. The Russian Defense Ministry said its military had launched seven drones at power facilities related to the military-industrial complex in Ukraine’s southern Mykolaiv region, but that it shot them down after receiving Putin’s order to not hit energy infrastructure. Moscow accused Ukraine of targeting its energy facility in the Krasnodar region bordering the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014, several hours after the Putin and Trump talks. The ministry said that three drones targeted oil transfer equipment that feeds the Caspian Pipeline Consortium, causing a fire and leading one oil tank to lose pressure. “It is absolutely clear that we are talking about yet another provocation deliberately concocted by the Kyiv regime, aimed at derailing the peace initiatives of the U.S. president,” the ministry said. Russia said that its air defenses intercepted 57 Ukrainian drones over the Azov Sea and several Russian regions — the border provinces of Kursk and Bryansk and the nearby regions of Oryol and Tula. Zelenskyy said that “words of a ceasefire” weren’t enough. “If the Russians don’t hit our facilities, we definitely won’t hit theirs,” Zelenskyy said. Meanwhile, the two combatants said Wednesday that they had each swapped 175 prisoners in one of the largest exchanges of the war. Zelenskyy rejected Putin’s key condition that Western allies stop providing military aid and intelligence to Ukraine. He said that doing so would endanger lives if citizens were blind to incoming air raids, and lead to the continuation of the war. “I don’t think anybody should make any concessions in terms of helping Ukraine, but rather, assistance to Ukraine should be increased,” Zelenskyy said. “This will be a signal that Ukraine is ready for any surprises from the Russians.” Nigel Gould-Davies, senior fellow for Russia and Eurasia at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said that it was “completely unsurprising” that Putin rejected the ceasefire, adding that it’s “imprudent for him to tell President Trump that directly, since Trump has made ending the war a very, very high priority.” “What we have now, in effect, is a competition or rivalry between Kyiv and Moscow to persuade Trump that it’s the other side that is responsible for preventing Trump from achieving his goal of ending the war,” Gould-Davies said. Zelenskyy said that one of the most difficult issues in future negotiations would be the issue of territorial concessions. “For us, the red line is the recognition of the Ukrainian temporarily occupied territories as Russian,” he said. “We will not go for it.” Yehor Konovalov in Kyiv, Dasha Litvinova in Tallinn, Estonia, Geir Moulson in Berlin, Aamer Madhani and Zeke Miller in Washington, and Brian Melley in London contributed to this report.

Reporting by Pavel Polityuk; Editing by Hugh Lawson The Khmelnytskyi power plant near Netishyn town is one of four operational nuclear power plants in Ukraine Understand the impact of the Ukraine conflict from a cross-sector perspective with the Global Data Executive Briefing: Ukraine Conflict The Khmelnytskyi nuclear power plant (NPP) comprises two 1,000MW operational units and two more 1,000MW units under construction at the site near Netishyn town Ukraine’s state-owned nuclear power company Energoatom owns and operates the facility The construction of the NPP started in 1979 and the first unit became operational in 1987 while the second unit was commissioned in 2004 The design of the third and fourth units will meet enhanced safety standards to be reviewed by the Ukrainian Government Khmelnytskyi NPP is a part of the ‘Ukraine-European Union Power Bridge’ project aimed at developing cross-border transmission networks between Ukraine and European Union (EU) countries The funds generated by electricity export from the plant’s second unit were proposed to be used for the construction of units three and four The decision to link the second unit to the Burshtyn Energy Island and further connect it with the Polish transmission lines is Construction of units three and four began in 1985 and 1986, respectively. However, after the Chernobyl nuclear accident in April 1986 the Ukrainian Government imposed a moratorium on the development of new NPPs in the country resulting in the construction being suspended in 1990 The moratorium was lifted in 1993 due to energy shortages and a decision was made to upgrade the safety standards of the nuclear energy industry A fresh environmental impact assessment (EIA) was conducted and construction works on the third and fourth units resumed in November 2020 A draft bill to complete the units using Westinghouse AP1000® reactor technology was submitted to the government in November 2021 which was pending parliamentary approval as of February 2022 The operational units one and two feature WWER-1000/V320 type reactors The second unit was modernised with an automated radiation control system upon its commissioning It also features radiation control and an environment monitoring system The passive safety systems in the upgraded WWER-1000/V-392B type reactors including the core flooding and heat removal system The nuclear plant features PGV-1000 steam generators a K-1000-60/3000 turbine unit and 1,000MW ТWW-1000-2UZ turbine generator The NPP units under construction were earlier proposed to feature V-392B type reactor plant integrating 1,000MW WWER-1000 type thermal neutron reactors The Ukrainian Government chose to cancel the Russian reactor deal in 2017 The Westinghouse AP1000 reactors to be used for units three and four represent the proven Generation III+ pressurised water reactor (PWR) technology with fully passive safety systems and modularised standard design The simplified plant design enables high operability as well as reduced operation and maintenance costs The design and construction of the two new units require UAH723.4bn ($28bn) of funding The loan agreement that the Ukrainian Government signed with the Russian Federation in April 2010 for the completion of the two new units was scrapped in 2017 The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) also supported the NPP development Energoatom is exploring options to fund the development of the two new units Negotiations with the US EXIM Bank for the financing are in progress a nuclear technology supplier based in the US received a contract from Energoatom to supply Westinghouse AP1000® reactors for units three and four of the Khmelnytskyi plant in November 2021 Penetron supplied systems for the protection of concrete structures of the plant’s wastewater pumping stations. Elbud Katowice was contracted for the development of the power transmission system for the nuclear plant in 1979 Eltel Networks designed the 750kV transmission line switchyard and 3/2 CB 400kV switchyard with a tubular busbar for the power station Give your business an edge with our leading industry insights View all newsletters from across the GlobalData Media network Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Energy Minister German Galushchenko visit the Khmelnytskyi nuclear power plant near the town of Netishyn President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Ukraine would be involved in peace talks with Russia after Kyiv and its European allies warned against a “dirty deal” between Washington and Moscow following Trump’s call with Russian President Vladimir Putin Trump said Ukraine would have a seat at the table during any peace negotiations with Russia over ending the war he said: “I believe that he would like to see something happen president also said Russia should be readmitted to the Group of Seven nations Russia’s financial markets soared and the price of Ukraine’s debt rose at the prospect of the first talks in years to end Europe’s deadliest war since World War Two Trump’s unilateral overture to Putin on Wednesday accompanied by apparent concessions on Ukraine’s principal demands raised alarm for both Kyiv and the European allies in NATO who said they feared the White House might make a deal without them simply will not be able to accept any agreements without us,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said He said Putin aimed to make his negotiations bilateral with the United States and it was important that this not be allowed The Kremlin said plans were under way for Putin and Trump to meet Ukraine would “of course” participate in peace talks in some way but there would also be a bilateral negotiation track between the United States and Russia The United Arab Emirates has told the United States it wants to host talks aimed at ending the war in Ukraine European officials took an exceptionally firm line in public towards Trump’s peace overture saying any agreement would be impossible to implement unless they and the Ukrainians were included in negotiating it “Any quick fix is a dirty deal,” European foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said She also denounced the apparent concessions offered in advance “Why are we giving them (Russia) everything that they want even before the negotiations have been started?” said Kallas A European diplomatic source said ministers had agreed to engage in a “frank and demanding dialog” with U.S officials — some of the strongest language in the diplomatic lexicon — at the annual Munich Security Conference beginning on Friday Trump made the first publicly acknowledged White House call with Putin since Russia’s February 2022 full-scale invasion and then followed it up with a call to Zelensky Trump said he believed both men wanted peace But the Trump administration also said openly for the first time that it was unrealistic for Ukraine to expect to return to its 2014 borders or join the NATO alliance as part of any agreement troops would join any security force in Ukraine that might be set up to guarantee a ceasefire who unveiled the new policy in remarks at NATO headquarters said on Thursday the world was fortunate to have Trump bringing two sides together to find a negotiated peace.” Kremlin spokesman Peskov said Moscow was “impressed” by Trump’s willingness to seek a settlement Russia seized Ukraine’s Crimea peninsula and its proxies captured territory in the east in 2014 before its full-scale invasion in 2022 when it captured more land in the east and south Ukraine pushed Russian invaders back from the outskirts of Kyiv and recaptured swathes of territory in 2022 but its outmanned and outgunned forces have slowly ceded more land since a failed Ukrainian counter-offensive in 2023 Relentless fighting has killed or injured hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides — there is no reliable death toll — and pulverized Ukrainian cities there has been no narrowing of positions on either side Moscow demands Kyiv cede more land and be rendered permanently neutral in any peace deal; Kyiv says Russian troops must withdraw and it must win security guarantees comparable to NATO membership to prevent future attacks Ukrainian officials have acknowledged in the past that full NATO membership may be out of reach in the short term and that a hypothetical peace deal could leave some occupied land in Russian hands But Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Kyiv remained committed to joining NATO which he said was the simplest and least expensive way the West could provide the security guarantees needed to ensure peace “All our allies have said the path of Ukraine towards NATO is irreversible,” said Sybiha a former Dutch Prime Minister adept at smoothing over differences between Europe and Washington said it was important Moscow understand the West remained united noting that Ukraine had never been promised a peace deal that would include alliance membership Some Ukrainians saw Trump’s moves as a betrayal standing near a sea of flags in downtown Kyiv honoring fallen troops said: “It truly looks as if they want to surrender Ukraine because I don’t see any benefits for our country from these negotiations or Trump’s rhetoric.” Ukrainians have been worn out by three years of war and many say they are prepared to sacrifice some aims to achieve peace policy under Trump’s predecessor Joe Biden who vowed to help Ukraine win all its land back and provided tens of billions of dollars worth of military hardware but only after delays that Ukrainian commanders say let Russian forces regroup was being forthright about the limits of U.S “The difference between Biden and Trump is that Trump says out loud what Biden was thinking and doing about Ukraine,” he said on social media Your browser is out of date and potentially vulnerable to security risks.We recommend switching to one of the following browsers: Account processing issue - the email address may already exist Would you like to receive our daily news? Signup today Invalid password or account does not exist Submitting this form below will send a message to your email with a link to change your password An email message containing instructions on how to reset your password has been sent to the email address listed on your account Russia launched a strike on the territory near the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant at night, resulting in power outages in the cities of Slavuta and Netishyn, informs the Ministry of Energy. "The enemy launched an attack on the territory near the Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant overnight," the press service stated. It was mentioned that the explosion caused damage to windows in administrative and laboratory buildings. "Due to damage to power lines, 1,860 consumers in the cities of Slavuta and Netishyn in the Khmelnytskyi region have been left without electricity," the Ministry of Energy noted. The press service also added that restoration work will begin as soon as energy workers are allowed to access the damaged area. This night, once again, the occupying forces attacked Ukraine with Shahed drones. In total, the enemy used 11 attack UAVs. All of them were destroyed by our defenders of the sky. However, the debris fell on the territory of the Khmelnytskyi region, which has been under attack for the fourth consecutive day. In particular, the debris of the downed drones fell on a critical infrastructure object in the city of Slavuta, Shepetivka district. Also, an explosive wave damaged 11 multi-story and 9 private houses, as well as the police department and fire stations in the cities of Slavuta and Netishyn (where Khmelnytskyi Nuclear Power Plant is located). It is already known of at least 20 casualties as a result of the night attack. The mayor of Slavuta, Vasyl Sydor, noted that among them there were severe cases. Currently, there is no educational institution in Slavuta that has not been affected by the explosive wave tonight. The mayor added that all 22 educational institutions in the city have suffered damage without exception. Many other objects have also been affected: boiler houses, and buildings of different purposes. Schools and kindergartens are closed today.

after battles in the domestic arena they learned to play on an equal footing with "Real" "Bavaria" and for several years in a row they gave "Dynamo" fans Eurospring and worthy confrontations with the world's leading football clubs stable midfielder - since the days of Pokhlebaev then on the left we could be sure - Kosovsky would work both for himself and for Kaladze with Dmytrulin "Irons" the edge from the flag to the flag and has time both in defense and in attack Even after ending his performances early due to injuries today's birthday boy was remembered as a player of the entire decade And his personal level has been tested by matches against the giants of European football and the top national teams It was there that he started playing football - Mykola Leonidovych Pugach became his first coach who noticed the boy during yard battles and suggested that he practice seriously Not far away - 10 kilometers away - is Netishyn the city of atomic workers of the Khmelnytsky NPP and coach Mykhailo Telebey invited the talented young football player to the Netishyn sports school The future player of "Dynamo" and the national team of Ukraine studied at the local secondary school for 10 years at first he started going to another city in the neighboring region without his parents' knowledge - the coaches even had to talk with them to make sure that his son was doing the right thing and could reach serious heights in it Kosovsky was indeed one of the most promising players He was on the radar not only in the youth national teams of the Khmelnytskyi region and Ukrainian SSR but also among his peers throughout the Soviet Union Vitalik was taken to a republican sports boarding school he was trained by the legendary Volodymyr Kiyanchenko At that time Kosovsky's important matches in the youth national team of the USSR fell he was a participant in the selection tournament of the European Championship among youths under 16 years of age - a strong promising Soviet national team led by Piskarev gathered such players as Lutsenko Alexander Khatskevich and Vita Tsygankova's father The Czechoslovak national team with Berger Some of them had previously played against Dynamo the future vice-champions of Euro-96 among adults were also here Kosovsky took part in the Granatkin Memorial and the USSR youth national team also qualified for the final tournament of the European Under-18 Championship The CIS national team already went to the competition hosted by Germany - it lost the match on penalties to the Norwegians to reach the semi-finals so it shared 5-6 places with the hosts of the competition - already united Germany it was even believed that the best position for Vitaliy is forward The collapse of the USSR put Soviet football in a transitional period the elders were allowed to go across the border followed by others - with the effect of a dam breached by a raging mountain river But such a youth as Kosovsky got into adult football faster and more smoothly They were expected because the average age of the teams was rapidly decreasing and yesterday's favorites were going to Morocco Abakan - and anywhere else to provide for their families Kosovsky got into the second league "Podillya" The Khmelnytskyi team was a middle peasant of the "Ukrainian" sixth zone - and a year before that Myron Markevich was replaced by Istvan Sekech Hryhoriy Ishchenko arrived when he headed the money-hungry Shepetivsk "Temp" "Podillya" took 14th place in its zone for two years in a row another future Dynamo player Serhii Kovalets graduated from there Kosovsky played 22 matches (1 goal) in the Second Union League "Social elevators" then worked quickly - in all areas of life And already after the first successful matches other clubs began to show interest in Kosovsky but the most persistent was "Niva" from Vinnytsia the team was led by the experienced Oleksandr Tomak - he would reveal this years later in Chernihiv "Desna" Yarmolenko Having seen prospects in the fast left-footed player personally arrived in Khmelnytskyi with a clear task - to return only with Kosovsky Tomakh's assistant Vyacheslav Grozny approached the young player an agreement was reached - the main factor for the young football player was the opportunity to get a higher education and close the issue with the army (although he had to serve a month in a missile unit somewhere in Vinnytsia) When he and his parents promised him that he would be admitted to the Vinnytsia Pedagogical University the transfer took place (later Vitaly graduated from the football faculty of the National University of Physical Education and Sports) "Niva" at that time was among the leaders of the western zone of the Second League - Union was collapsing there were only guesses as to who would end up where Vinnytsia's trick worked - finishing fifth they got the right to play in the Higher League of the Championship of Independent Ukraine Vitaly Kosovsky really revealed himself in "Niva" as one of the most promising young football players already in "Niva" Tomah began to cover the left midfielder with me It was a good decision by San Sanych," Vitaly himself said later And later succinctly and aptly described his playing style: "My playing style is speed There are episodes when the goal assist is more important than the ball I scored." But the legendary Dynamo player Volodymyr Troshkin who traveled all over Ukraine and saw young Kosovsky in action the great Ivan Shariy spent the last successful season of his career Young people Serhiy Popov and Yurii Solovyenko showed themselves well and Yukhym Shkolnikov worked with the team was called up to the youth national team of Ukraine a real fight broke out for the player - almost not all elite clubs applied for Kosovsky the closest was "Chornomorets" (Leonid Buryak noticed Kosovsky while still leading the Ternopil "Niva") it is said that the Belgian "Standard" was interested in Kosovsky and Naduda they were circling around Dynamo Moscow and CSKA with the prospect of taking the Ukrainian to the neighboring national team like dozens of other players stolen from us Kosovsky had no doubts - he had dreamed of playing for this team since childhood In the final match of the 1993/94 season in Zaporizhzhia against Torpedo Vitaly scored three goals and said goodbye to Vinnytsia fans There was a new challenge ahead in his career who also at Niva was noted for his remarkable ability to play along with his partners the meeting with the new team did not cause any particular problems," noted the publication's columnist Valery Valerko Kosovsky was in the starting line-up for a match against the same "Torpedo" already in a "Dynamo" football shirt he provided the assist for Skachenko's winning goal already in his debut match "Ukrainian Football" awarded the rookie with a rating of 6.5 - one of the best in Kyiv And it happened - for "Dynamo" under all coaches Vitaly's career in the national team developed he became the author of a goal in the goal of his peers from Italy - in the defensive line of Panucci Play at least a draw in that away game and the Ukrainian youth player would have qualified for the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta.. Kosovsky played a total of 16 matches and 4 goals in the youth national team of Ukraine in 1992-95 Jozef Sabo began to call Vitaliy to the national team If he was in the reserve in the April match in Moldova The hosts - participants of the Euro-96 final tournament - won 3:2 but the local press noted the combativeness of the renewed Ukrainian national team Kosovsky played 25 matches for the national team And one more goal did not enter the statistics - when Pedersen did not count the goal of the Croatians after Vitali's strike in the second leg of the playoffs for the trip to the 1998 World Cup in France.. Kosovsky experienced the level of European Cups and made his debut in the national team becoming the 6-time champion of Ukraine (1994/95 1999/2000) and 4-time winner of the Cup of Ukraine (1995/96 He repeatedly won unofficial tournaments - say the Commonwealth Cup in Russia or the Kings Cup in Switzerland the speed and endurance of the bright football player were appreciated - in a brilliant team that made a lot of noise in the European Cups It was Kosovsky who scored the memorable third goal against Silkeborg as Dynamo qualified for the Champions League and advanced to the group stage for the first time He also provided an assist for Leonenko's double (3:2 at home with Spartak) as well as for Rebrov's well-hit shot in Eindhoven three years later Kosovsky's goals are a separate song: it's hard to say whether he is more reminiscent of a spectacular low kick in Oliver Kahn's goal or an unrealized moment that could have "buried" Bayern in the semi-finals (they finished 3:3 in Kyiv and narrowly lost in the second leg) The last tribute to the fans in an international match in the later years of his career was a 4th-minute goal against Bayer Leverkusen in 2000 the Dinamo team beat the wards of Christoph Daum with Kirsten The semi-final of the 1998/99 Champions League remained the pinnacle both for that team as a whole and for Kosovski personally Different names circulated in different years - the most realistic was a transfer to "Celta" - Spanish negotiators even came to Kyiv but during the 1998/99 season the transfer did not go through and Kosovsky still played in the semi-finals Vitaly began to be seriously troubled by injuries — primarily fans saw the speedy player less and less often Dynamo's official website sadly announced the end of Kosovsky's career: "The last time Vitaliy wore a first team shirt was almost two years ago.. Much to the great regret of the many supporters of Vitaliy Kosovskyi's talent one of the best midfielders in the country in the mid-90s x never recovered from a series of serious injuries and decided to end his football career Kosovsky did not remain without work for a long time Vitaly will work in the selection service of the club under the leadership of Jozef Szabo." including 131 matches (20 goals) in the Higher League of the Ukrainian Championship He last appeared on the field in the first club team on April 21 replacing Chernat in the 58th minute of the capital derby between Arsenal and Dynamo Kosivskyi played 90 minutes for Dynamo-2 against his first team but Kosovsky still played quite a few matches at the youth and amateur levels Vitaly played 5 matches and scored 1 goal for "Irpin" (Horenichi) winning the Ukrainian Amateur Football Cup with the rural team from Kyiv region His teammates were other Dynamo veterans - Kovtun Annenkov and Belkevich managed to play for this team And the last match among amateurs of the All-Ukrainian level Kosovsky played in 2014 for the capital "Eurobis" he can be seen in the veteran national team of Ukraine Kosovsky's new life is selection and coaching work he brought a number of future national team players to Dynamo including such a famous defender as Vitaly Mandzyuk Few people know that Andrii Yarmolenko was also brought to DYUFSh by Kosovskyi.. Then Vitaly Vladyslavovich helped Oleksandr Lysenko in the youth national team of Ukraine - he should be remembered by the boys born in 1989-90 (some of them will become the European youth champion in three years ) Then he worked at "Podilla" in Muravskyi's headquarters He was a member of the Niva coaching staff leading the team in the Vinnytsia match against Mykolaiv FC in the fall of 2011 (0:1) his team finished 13th in the First League For some time he worked in a large recruiting agency he worked in the Dynamo U-19 and U-21 teams in Valentyn Belkevych's staff He was a technical coach of the Dynamo Lobanovskyi Youth Football Association he led the youth teams of his age categories he led Dynamo to victory in the Ukrainian U-17 DUFL Championship and a year later - in the U-14 Championship he again joined the staff of the youth club team he was the acting manager for about six months after which he returned to the post of senior coach of the youth team it became known that Vitaly Kosovsky won the honorary title "Honored Coach of Ukraine" a new chapter in his coaching work began - Kosovsky led the Kryvbas U-19 team whose namesake Rebrov became his godfather he was a regular in the national teams of his age groups currently signed a contract with "Obolonya" of the first division Стать участником фан-зоны Нажимая на кнопку, вы соглашаетесь с условиями членства в фан-зоне конвертировать карму в шурики Устанавливайте наше приложение и всегда оставайтесь в курсе футбольных новостей Reporting by Yuliia Dysa and Pavel Polityuk; Editing by Kevin Liffey Editing by Timothy Heritage and Angus MacSwan Reporting by Shubham Kalia in Bengaluru; Editing by Alison Williams
