(Reuters) - Ukrainian club Shakhtar Donetsk will allocate $25 million to aid soldiers and their families, president Rinat Akhmetov said on Monday, a day after receiving a record transfer fee for winger Mykhailo Mudryk from Premier League club Chelsea.
Akhmetov added that Shakhtar would play a friendly against Chelsea at their Donbass Arena in"a Ukrainian Donetsk".
Ukrainian forces defending Mariupol were holed up in the Azovstal steelworks for weeks as Russian forces tried to capture the city. The Ukrainian soldiers eventually surrendered in May last year. "The money will be used to cover different needs - from providing medical and prosthetic treatment and psychological support to meeting specific requests.
