I want to believe that attention will be paid to your training, as well as to the people who prepare you for victory. Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs system won 9 Olympic awards. I will appeal to the President of Ukraine with a proposal and a request that no sports school be closed in Ukraine. And only the opportunities for our athletes will be developed".
