For reference:

It's worth noting that while the international community's focus on the war in Ukraine is diminishing, a group of Ukrainians in Barcelona have managed to keep their country in the spotlight by harnessing their passion and energy. Through running, they're not only bringing attention to Ukraine and bringing together those who were forced to leave their homes but also supporting those defending their country.
