Oleksii SEREDA has been included in the UP100 – Ukraine’s 100 Most Influential People ranking by Ukrainska Pravda, receiving recognition in the Sport category.
This honour is far more than a place in a ranking. It is recognition of Oleksii’s extraordinary dedication, resilience and relentless pursuit of excellence, qualities he continues to demonstrate despite the many challenges faced by Ukraine.
This year alone, Ukraine’s star diver won silver at the World Championships and became a three-time European champion.
For the third time, Ukrainska Pravda has presented its UP100 list, celebrating one hundred Ukrainians who are shaping the country’s independence and future.
2025 has been a year of difficult choices. Ukrainians have learned to live on the edge—between exhaustion and strength, compromise and principle, adaptation and staying true to themselves. Every decision has become not only political or professional, but deeply personal.
That is why this year’s UP100 honours people who make difficult choices when it matters most—leaders who act when others remain silent, and those who accept responsibility when it is at its greatest.
Because true leadership today is the ability to make the right choice, even when there are no easy answers.
