UEFA Honorary Member Grigoriy Surkis has congratulated the President of Dynamo Kyiv Ihor Surkis on his 65th birthday:
"Ihor Surkis is 65!
Dear Igor!
I heartily congratulate you, my brother, on your birthday.
Fascinated by football since childhood, you carried this bright feeling through your life, and in adulthood you devoted yourself entirely to the most beloved club of our large, united and friendly family - Dynamo Kyiv.
With Dynamo, you won and, like all of us, lost, and together with generations of Dynamo stars, you gained a huge amount of invaluable experience.
Today, when our entire country is heroically fighting the Russian invasion, working for Victory, helping our soldiers as much as possible and being loyal to football are moving us forward.
I am proud of you, my brother! I wish you determination and optimism, good health, prosperity, peace and family harmony.
With love,
Hryhoriy Surkis"
