The Dynamo Football Club and the Surkis Brothers Foundation continue to regularly help the military defending their homeland from the enemy, as they are in constant need of support and assistance. The club and the Surkis Brothers Foundation send humanitarian aid almost every week and promptly meet the needs of individual military units.

One of the military units with which the club is constantly in touch to meet the urgent needs is the Feodosia DFTH of the Khodosiyivska AH in Obukhiv district, which defends the sky over Kyiv region from enemy drones and missiles.

FC Dynamo has repeatedly helped this community, including allocating funds for the purchase of modern searchlights capable of emitting a beam at a distance of 2.5 km and laser pointers to detect enemy drones and UAVs in our airspace.

On Thursday, 16 May, the command of the Feodosia DFTG again visited the Dynamo Stadium for another meeting with the club's management. This time, the reason for the visit was an important matter - the club handed over a car for the unit's use, which the military needed to perform their daily tasks.

Ihor Surkis thanked the military for what they do every day, constantly defending our country.

- First of all, our victory is important. We are very grateful to you for everything you do. Please know that the Surkis Brothers Foundation and Dynamo football club are always by your side. We are handing over this car to you. God willing, it will serve you faithfully and bring you benefits.

Anatoliy Shafranskiy, commander of the Feodosiya unit of the Khodosiyevka UTC, thanked the club for another donation:

- "This vehicle will be used to transport personnel and not only. Perhaps, we will install a turret for a machine gun or even a hail gun on it. All this will be used and serve to protect the sky. We are very grateful to you!

Leeds bosses will have to take extraordinary measures to maintain the club's financial stability, the Daily Mail reports.

According to the source, in order to establish a stable financial picture at the club, the club's management will have to sell its players for more than £100 million if it fails to generate additional profit after a possible entry into the English Premier League. Thus, the most popular player, midfielder Crisencio Summerville, may be the first to leave the team.

It is noted that the decision to sell expensive players can help cover Leeds' operating losses if the club does not receive promotion at the end of this season's Premier League season.

The management of Kryvyirogorsk Kryvbas has promised its players additional bonuses for the fulfilment of two global tasks, according to the TaToTake telegram channel.

The first of them is to win medals of the championship of Ukraine season-2023/24. With this task "Kryvbas" has already coped, early extracting the "bronze".

The second task for additional bonuses is to reach the group stage of the European Cup tournament next season. Let us remind you that Kryvbas will start its way in the Eurocups-2024/25 with the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League, i.e. two stages away from the group stage. In case of failure in the third qualification round of the Europa League, Yuriy Vernidub's team will be in the play-off round of the Conference League qualification.

Famous Ukrainian TV commentator Igor Tsyganik told what he expects from the match of the 29th round of the Ukrainian championship by Dynamo Kyiv and Kryvorizhzh Kryvbas, which will be held tomorrow in the capital.

"A match that already decides almost nothing. "Dynamo" just need to finish the season well, to play at home qualitatively for the fans who will come to support the "white-blue".

"Kryvbas won the "bronze" medals of UPL. Yuriy Vernidub's team got a ticket to the Europa League qualification. But it lost the previous two matches ("Dnipro-1" - "Kryvbas" - 1:0, "Kryvbas" - "Polesie" - 0:1 - ed.), so against Kyiv will want to prove themselves better.

I expect quite an interesting game with goals. I think that both Dynamo and Kryvbas will be able to score. I will bet on the exchange of goals and Dynamo's victory with the score 2:1," said Tsyganik.

The well-known journalist Mykola Neseniuk shared his thoughts on the legendary coach of Dynamo Kyiv, Valeriy Lobanovsky.

Former Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Paulo Fonseca, who is currently in charge of French side Lille, is the main contender for the post of Milan coach, Sky Sport Italia reports.

The management of "Milan" not so long ago decided to part ways with the current head coach Stefano Pioli at the end of the current season, and during the search for his successor stopped their choice on Fonseca.

But it is still too early to say that this Portuguese specialist will definitely lead AC Milan. His contract with Lille runs until the end of the current season, and the French club intends to sign a new contract with Fonseca: in the near future, the parties will begin negotiations on this matter. In addition, Marseille have views on Fonseca.
