I join all the most sincere congratulations on your glorious anniversary. I pay tribute to one of the brightest masters of Kyiv and Ukrainian football, a true virtuoso of the unsurpassed Dynamo ensemble.
For you, there were no secrets in football, fate endowed you with the ability to tame the ball and win the hearts of fans. Obviously, this undying love of the stands is the most precious reward, along with the gold and crystal of the trophies you have won.
At this difficult time, I first of all wish you, dear jubilee, a speedy victory for Ukraine in the brutal war. And after that - peace, harmony, prosperity and God's grace!
With sincere respect,
Grigory SURKIS
