Ukraine head coach Serhiy Rebrov has selected a 26-man squad to take to this summer's Euro 2024 in Germany.
The Blue and Yellow needed to come through the playoffs to seal a fourth consecutive European Championships appearance.
After reaching the quarter-finals in Euro 2020, Ukraine will be looking to secure another knockout-round appearance when they compete with Belgium, Slovakia and Romania in Group E.
Here, Sports Mole looks at the players who have been selected and those individuals who have failed to make the cut.
Four Premier League names included
Ukraine's selection contains four players who currently ply their trade in the English top flight, including versatile Arsenal man Oleksandr Zinchenko.
The 27-year-old may no longer be a guaranteed starter for his club side, but he remains a key player for his national team and will be utilised as a central midfielder or left-back during the tournament.
Zinchenko is joined in the squad by Chelsea winger Mykhaylo Mudryk, who scored the winning goal in the qualifying playoff final against Iceland to seal Ukraine's spot at Euro 2024.
Everton's Vitaliy Mykolenko has been included in the selection despite missing the final four games of the Premier League season due to an ankle injury.
Meanwhile, Bournemouth's Ilya Zabarnyi is poised to appear in his second European Championship finals after enjoying a successful campaign with Andoni Iraola's side.
Zabarnyi featured in all bar one of Bournemouth's 38 top-flight matches, helping the club achieve their highest Premier League points total.
Who else has made the cut?
Fresh from collecting a Champions League winners' medal, Real Madrid goalkeeper Andriy Lunin is likely to start the tournament in goal after featuring in both of Ukraine's playoff matches against Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iceland.
However, Lunin faces strong competition from Benfica's first-choice goalkeeper Antoliy Trubin, who kept 13 clean sheets in 28 appearances during the 2023-24 Primeira Liga season.
Attacker Viktor Tsygankov and forward Artem Dovbyk travel to Germany in a confident mood after guiding Girona to a remarkable third-placed finish in La Liga.
Tsygankov registered eight goals and seven assists in 30 league matches, while Dovbyk netted 24 goals in 36 appearances to finish the season as La Liga top scorer, fending off the likes of Alexander Sorloth, Robert Lewandowski and Jude Bellingham.
Shakhtar Donetsk's Heorhiy Sudakov has emerged as one of Ukraine's brightest young talents, and the 21-year-old will certainly be one to watch when he makes his major tournament debut.
Who will miss Euro 2024?
Dynamo Kyiv's Oleksandr Karavaev featured in every game at Euro 2020 and made a couple of appearances during the qualifying campaign for the 2024 tournament.
However, the 32-year-old defender will be unable to add to his 49 caps this summer after being left out of the 26-man squad.
Karavaev's club teammate Vitaliy Buyalskyi was another player to play a minor role in qualifying, but he will not get the chance to represent his country in Germany.
The midfielder has ultimately fallen out of favour, having failed to make an appearance since featuring as a substitute against Italy in September 2023.

Manager - Serhiy Rebrov
Rebrov enjoyed a long playing career, featuring for the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, West Ham United, Dynamo Kyiv and Fenerbahce.
After hanging up his boots in 2009, Rebrov started his coaching career as an assistant before he returned to Dynamo Kyiv to take on his first managerial role.
Rebrov won five pieces of silverware with the Ukrainian side, before going on to spend a season with Al Ahli in Saudi Arabia.
The 50-year-old then swapped the Saudi Pro League for the Hungarian top flight, leading Ferencvaros to three consecutive league titles.
After winning a couple of trophies with UAE club Al Ain, Rebrov was presented with the honour and responsibility of coaching the Ukrainian national team.
Rebrov has made his side a tough team to beat since taking over the reins in June last year, with his 13 matches producing seven wins, four draws and just two defeats.
Two of those victories took place in the qualifying playoffs, ensuring Rebrov will now have the proud honour of leading his country at a major tournament.
Star Player - Artem Dovbyk
A top-quality goalscorer is hard to come by, so Ukraine will be grateful to head into the tournament with Girona's Dovbyk at their disposal.
The 26-year-old has played just 14 minutes at a major international tournament, but his presence will be crucial to his country's hopes of enjoying a successful competition, especially as there are some question marks over Ukraine's alternative striker options.
While Roman Yaremchuk has plenty of experience, he heads to Germany off the back of a difficult campaign, where he scored just three goals in 25 La Liga appearances for Girona.
Dynamo Kyiv's Vladyslav Vanat may have topped the scoring charts in the Ukrainian top flight, but he is in the early stages of his international career and is yet to score for his country.
With that in mind, the pressure of scoring the bulk of Ukraine's goals will fall to Dovbyk, who will be full of confidence after winning the Pichichi in his first season in Spain.
The Girona striker has carried his club form onto the international stage, scoring in Ukraine's final two warm-up games against Poland and Moldova to take his tally to 10 goals in 28 appearances for his country.
