On June 15, 2025, at the age of 74, the heart of Volodymyr Hryhorovych Lashkul stopped beating.
Volodymyr LashkulHe was an extraordinary person, a talented lawyer, manager, creator of many new important initiatives in Ukrainian sports, implemented large-scale projects, and left a significant mark on the development of football, physical culture, and the sports movement in Ukraine.
His name is inextricably linked to many years of work in the Football Federation of Ukraine, where he held leadership positions, took care of the development of club football, issues of certification, and also actively participated in strategic initiatives as part of the Executive Committee and the Presidium. Thanks to his personal qualities, many important projects were realized, international tournaments were organized, sports clubs were supported, and conditions for the growth of young talents were created.
His life was filled with actions, determination, faith in the idea, and responsibility to the people. Volodymyr Hryhorovych knew how to unite professionals around him, think ahead, and remain loyal to football until the last day.
The bright memory of Volodymyr Hryhorovych will remain in the hearts of colleagues, friends, like-minded people, and all those who had the fortune to know him personally.
I express my deepest condolences to the family, loved ones, and the entire football community of Ukraine.
With deep sadness and sorrow,
Hryhoriy Surkis
