Ukraine International Carries Its National Team To German Football Match

乌克兰国家队参加德国足球赛

When a country is plunged into war, everything is disrupted. Daily lives, air travel to, from, and above, along with participation in sports on the international arena. Meanwhile, amid a near-unthinkable crisis, community becomes more critical than ever. On May 10, Ukraine International Airlines flew 45 members of the Ukrainian national football team to Germany for a friendly fundraiser match with Borussia Mönchengladbach.

当一个国家陷入战争时，一切都被打乱了。日常生活，往返和以上的航空旅行，以及参加国际舞台上的体育活动。与此同时，在一场几乎无法想象的危机中，社区变得比以往任何时候都更加重要。5月10日，乌克兰国际航空公司将乌克兰国家足球队的45名队员空运到德国，与门兴格在拉德巴赫市进行一场友谊募款比赛。

The flight took off from Ljubljana in Slovenia, where the Ukrainian team is currently training in Brdo, and landed in Düsseldorf. The match itself took place on Wednesday, May 11. It ended in a 1-2 triumph for the Ukrainians in front of a crowd of 20,223 at Borussia Park. The goals were scored by Mykhaylo Mudryk and Oleksandr Pikhalionok, both making their debut on the senior national team.

该航班从斯洛文尼亚卢布尔雅那起飞，乌克兰队目前正在那里的布尔多集训，然后降落在杜塞尔多夫。比赛本身于5月11日星期三举行。在博鲁西亚公园20223名观众面前，乌克兰人以1-2的比分获胜。这些球是由在国家队首次亮相的米哈伊洛·穆德里克和奥莱克桑德·皮哈利奥诺克攻入的。

Next up - Glasgow for a shot at Qatar 2022

下一个--2022年格拉斯哥对卡塔尔的一击

All funds collected through ticket sales for the game and merchandise will go to support Ukrainians affected by the war. Ukrainian citizens were welcomed to watch the match for free. Head coach of the team, Oleksandr Petrakov, said following the game as quoted by Football Reporting,

通过比赛门票销售和商品筹集的所有资金将用于支持受战争影响的乌克兰人。欢迎乌克兰公民免费观看比赛。该队主教练亚历山大·彼得拉科夫（Oleksandr Petrakov）在比赛后如《足球报道》所述说道，

“Thank you to the Ukrainians who came and supported us. And thank you also to the people of Germany.”

“感谢前来支持我们的乌克兰人。也感谢德国人民。“

It was the first game the Ukrainian national team had played since November. Next up is a semi-final playoff for a spot in the FIFA 2022 World Cup in Qatar. This time, they will face Scotland on the team's home turf at Hampden Park in Glasgow.

这是乌克兰国家队自11月以来的首场比赛。接下来是卡塔尔2022年世界杯的半决赛。这一次，他们将在格拉斯哥汉普登公园的球队主场迎战苏格兰队。

Still operating humanitarian flights

仍在进行人道主义飞行

UIA ceased all regularly scheduled commercial operations due to Russia's invasion of the country on February 24 this year and the subsequent closure of Ukrainian airspace. However, the airline has made its aircraft available for charter and humanitarian flights.

由于今年2月24日俄罗斯入侵乌克兰，随后关闭乌克兰领空，UIA停止了所有定期安排的商业运营。然而，该航空公司已将其飞机用于包机和人道主义飞行。

When looking at the company's social media, one is struck by the incredible abruptness of the events of late February, as mere ten days before the start of the war, UIA was running a Valentine's Day promotion campaign, inviting customers to travel by March 20.

当看到该公司的社交媒体时，人们会惊讶于2月下旬事件的惊人突然性，因为就在战争开始的10天前，UIA正在开展情人节促销活动，邀请客户在3月20日前往旅行。

The UIA Boeing fleet

UIA波音机队

Ukraine International Airlines has a fleet of 28 Boeing and Embraer aircraft. The bulk of its narrowbody fleet consists of 12 Boeing 737-800s, averaging 14 years of age. UIA owns four of these outright, whereas the remaining eight are leased. It also owns half of its four ten-year-old 737-900s, and all of its 767-300s, with the latter getting on in age, inching closer to their third decade.

乌克兰国际航空公司拥有28架波音和巴西航空工业公司飞机。其窄体机队的大部分由12架波音737-800组成，平均服役14年。UIA直接拥有其中四家，而其余八家是租赁的。它还拥有四辆10年历史的737-900型汽车的一半，以及所有767-300型汽车的全部，后者的年龄越来越大，逐渐接近第三个十年。

The airline also has one Boeing 777-200ER. It is meant to take two more from lessor AerCap, both first delivered to Asiana in 2001. However, given the current situation, it is highly unclear when deliveries will be able to take place.

该航空公司还有一架波音777-200ER。这意味着出租方AerCap将在交付两台，这两台都是2001年首次交付给韩亚的。然而，考虑到目前的情况，还不清楚何时能够交货。
