On March 8, the Heart of Cyborgs NGO invited about two hundred women and girls from all over Ukraine, whose husbands, sons, or parents died during the war in the east of the country, including the Donetsk airport, to the column hall of the Kyiv City State Administration. Famous domestic football players, now players of the national team of Ukraine among veterans, became honorary guests at the holiday.

The team of legends got acquainted with the "Hearts of Cyborgs" in September last year in the city of Romny, where a friendly match was held, and the women in charge of the organization took honorable places on the central rostrum. "It was a wonderful evening, when everyone - both spectators and players - paid tribute to the heroes of today," said the head of the NGO "Hearts of Cyborgs" Anatoly Svirid. - It is good that our initiatives to provide social support to the families of fallen heroes appealed to famous footballers. Together with FFU Vice President Oleh Sobutsky, we discussed cooperation and quickly found a common language.

In general, this is the fourth holiday of spring, which we gather together. If in previous years the meeting place was a cafe or small establishments, now they have decided to do everything on a much larger scale, in the heart of the capital. On behalf of all women, I sincerely thank the football veterans for such attention, it is really invaluable. "

After a minute of silence and a concert program, Vladyslav Vashchuk, Serhiy Nagornyak, Eduard Tsikhmeistruk, Viktor Ulyanytsky and Vitaliy Samoilov took the stage to applause. "You are beautiful and strong, all men look at you with admiration," said Vladislav Vashchuk. - We are very pleased to be with you on this day, to communicate and give each other positive emotions. I want to wish Ukraine a peaceful sky, which it has been waiting for so long. "

After that, the players presented each woman with flowers and football paraphernalia, fondly took photos and shared memories from life. But these were not all surprises - the Association of Football Veterans of Ukraine and its general partner LLC "Agribusiness" presented the NGO "Hearts of Cyborgs" 50 tickets for the Europa League match "Dynamo" - "Chelsea". Mostly they went to families in which children are interested in football. One can only imagine what wonderful support Dynamo will have next Thursday at the main sports arena of Ukraine!
