Pavlo Sadokha Died, President of the Association of Ukrainians in Portugal

Diário de Viseu15 September 2026 at 09:15

Pavlo Sadokha, long-standing president of the Association of Ukrainians in Portugal, has died. News of his passing was mourned by the Embassy of Ukraine in Portugal and the Ukrainian World Congress (UWC), which issued statements of condolence.

Pavlo Sadokha was 56 years old and died on Sunday. His work leading the Association of Ukrainians in Portugal spanned many years, having dedicated much of his life to the Ukrainian community in Portuguese territory.

The Embassy of Ukraine in Portugal and the Ukrainian World Congress publicly expressed their grief over the loss of Sadokha, acknowledging his role in representing and supporting the Ukrainian community residing in Portugal.

Why this matters

Sadokha's death leaves a void in the leadership of the largest immigrant community in Europe, with more than 50,000 Ukrainian refugees now having lost their main representative voice in this country. This affects thousands of Ukrainians in Portugal who relied on the association for support and integration services.

Tehran will only negotiate with the US when conditions are met

Iran announced that it will only negotiate with the United States when its conditions are met, thus reacting to the statements by President Donald Trump, who on Monday stated he was willing to dialogue with Tehran. The Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Mohsen Rezaei, stressed that "there will be no negotiations until Iran's conditions are met," also calling on people not to be distracted by Washington's "contradictory signals." The context of this tension dates back to the Islamabad memorandum, signed in June between Tehran and Washington, which provided for the cessation of hostilities and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, whose blockade was broken by the US in July after Iranian attacks on oil tankers.

Kiev attacks Russian refinery after US agreement announcement

Ukraine attacked a refinery in Russia's Samara region, hours after Donald Trump announced that Kyiv and Moscow had agreed to refrain from attacking each other's energy infrastructure. The attack involved more than 40 drones being shot down, causing damage to an industrial facility and residential buildings. President Zelensky conditioned the truce on guarantees that Russia would also halt bombings against Ukraine's electrical system, energy infrastructure, and food logistics, expressing doubts about Moscow's compliance with the agreement. During the same night, Ukrainian forces also attacked the Rostov region, damaging an Ozon logistics center and the Beriev aircraft factory.
