Ukrainian national basketball team stranded in Spain



The Ukrainian national basketball team remains stuck in Spain after their match on Thursday took place just hours after Vladimir Putin declared war.

A minute’s silence took place before and after the match at the Vista Alegre Palace, while the sold-out crowd gave the Ukrainian team a standing ovation as some players burst into tears after the match.

Outside the Cordoba arena during the game, a small group of Ukrainian supporters protested the Russian invasion, while many Spanish fans stopped in front of the team’s hotel to show their support during the day.

...but being stuck outside of Ukraine right now is probably a lucky thing.
