In his mid-March statement, Presi­ dent Kravchuk had hoped that the removal of the weapons from Ukrainian territory would be controlled by an international monitoring committee.

Mr. Pavlychko also delivered a toast. Gen. Morozov was introduced by Maj.-Gen. Nicholas Krawciw, a distin­ guished West Point Academy graduate and decorated U.S. Army career officer whose last appointment before retiring was director of NATO Policy for the secretary of defense. Gen. Krawciw is helping the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense organize the International Institute of Global and Regional Se­ curity in Kiev. Describing Gen. Morozov as an individual on whose shoulders rests the responsibility of creating the newly formed Armed Forces of Ukraine, Gen. Krawciw said that Ukrainians could look to Gen. Morozov as the Wash­ ington of Ukraine's army. Colonel-General Konstantyn Morozov reviews troops at the full military honors arrival ceremony at the Pentagon. Gen. Morozov, taking the podium after thunderous applause, greeted those gathered as "My dear country­ men." He assured the audience that Ukraine is a stable state, as indicated by the overwhelming vote for indepen­ dence and Ukraine's economic situa­ tion. "Compared to other states that have emerged on the ruins of the former Soviet empire, Ukraine can become one of the major economic powers in Ea­ stern Europe," he said. Ukraine's position on defense mat­ ters, the minister continued, "evokes a very favorable stance toward Ukraine on the part of the populations of neighboring states. Almost 500,000 servicemen on the territory of Ukraine have taken the oath of loyalty to Ukraine, and we now have an autono­ mous Ukrainian army." Gen. Morozov stated that the Ukrai­ nian Army is not subordinated to the Armed Forces of the CIS and that the Ukrainian armed forces are "fully in compliance with all international arms Ukraine's minister of defense is saluted at the arrival ceremony.

Ilczyszyn ENGLEWOOD, N.J. - The first annual "charity skate" exhibition hockey game,, organized by the New York Kozaks Hockey Club, took place on Saturday, March 21, here at Mac- Kay Ice Arena. With uncertain expectations due to the fact that this event was organized within a six-week period, the charity skate could easily be classified as surprisingly successful. More than 200 Ukrainians of all ages gathered from all parts of the tri-state area, as well as Washington, Delaware and Montreal. The afternoon began with an open skating party, which allowed all attend­ ing to show their "Olympic" skills to a mix of Ukrainian songs arranged by Yury Furda of the Vodohray band. Following this hour of fun and falls, the exhibition hockey game between the New York Kozaks and Montreal Ukes began with the introduction of players by the master of ceremonies, Roman Wasylyk, who also entertained the audience throughout the entire event. The Ukrainian national anthem, "Shche Ne Vmerla Ukraina," was The ceremonial exchange of handshakes at the end of the game. played and sung by all present. As the players warmed up, the spectators waited in anticipation for the first drop of the puck. Dr. Taras Odulak, captain of the New York Kozaks (NYK), and Ihor Kowa- lew, captain of the Montreal Ukes (MU), led two very impressive teams. The Montreal Ukes, who led after every period (3-1, 5-3, 8-4), were evidently more experienced as a team. The New York Kozaks, on the other hand, had a slight disadvantage working with ріау– - ers from New York, New Jersey and Delaware, and the surprise arrival from Chicago, Andrij Sonevytsky. Goal­ keepers Peter Strutynsky and Alex Nystor, were applauded for their excep­ tional skills (the former should have been named MVP for his inexhaustible undertaking and energy against the tough Canadian team). Throughout the entire event, the public cheered both teams on. With the final score being 8-4, the Canadian team claimed victory, allowing it to take home to Montreal the winning "phan­ tom" trophy. Many left for home with New York Kozaks t-shirt souvenirs, while others headed for a reception held at the Ukrainian Youth Center in Yonkers, N.Y. The New York Kozaks. The Montreal Ukes, who have pre­ viously sponsored two such events to benefit the Ukrainian schools of Mon­ treal, introduced this idea of a charity skate to the New York Kozaks in 1990. The New York Kozaks took advantage of this idea and decided to organize a similar event which would benefit Plast and SUM-A (Ukrainian American Youth Association), two very impor­ tant youth organizations which have given so many young Ukrainians in North America direction, recreation, culture, and love. In return, the Kozaks are graciously donating SI,300 to be divided between these two organiza­ tions. The organizers of the charity skate, Dr. Odulak, Peter Hlushko and this writer, expressed thanks to all sponsors for their gracious contribu­ tions, and the many volunteers for their devotion, time and hardwork,especially Marko and Motria Shuhan, Roman Iwasiwka and Zen Bilewich for their donations. Special thanks went to the Montreal Ukes who initiated this event, which organizers hope will become a yearly tMditibu. ч v The Montreal Ukes. No. 16 I HE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, APRIL 19, 1992 11
