The veterans' team LocomotivePRO “Veterany” from Kharkiv took part in the II All-Ukrainian KREISEL Facade Championship 2026

As part of the 2nd All-Ukrainian KREISEL Facade Workers' Championship 2026, which took place on May 1, 2026 at the KREISEL plant in the city of Fastiv (Kyiv region), the competition was joined by the veterans' team LocomotivePRO “Veterany” from the city of Kharkiv.

The team represented the partner — the company “NovatorBud” and became an example of a successful return to professional work after service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

A team with time-tested experience

The team's captain is Semen Mukhin — a specialist with over 20 years of experience in facade and construction work. The team also includes:

• Serhii Riabchenko
• Oleksandr Prybytkov
• Vitalii Fedorenko

Semen Mukhin and Oleksandr Prybytkov are veterans of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who after their service returned to a civilian profession and continue to work in the construction industry.

The participation of the veterans' team in the KREISEL Facade Championship 2026 has not only sporting but also important social significance. It is an example of how veterans integrate into civilian life, realise themselves in a profession and become an active part of the development of the economy and the construction community of Ukraine.

The championship organisers emphasise that involving veterans' teams is a step towards creating an open professional environment, where experience, responsibility and teamwork are valued.

The II All-Ukrainian KREISEL Facade Championship 2026 brought together the strongest facade teams from across the country. Participants competed in practical tasks involving the installation of facade systems and work with decorative materials, while spectators were able to visit production tours, training zones and expert discussions.

The championship became a platform for professional exchange, the development of the industry and support for Ukraine's community of builders.
