Grigory Surkis expressed the opinion that football should remain out of politics.

"Football once again demonstrates the possibility of uniting people around this most peaceful weapon in the world - a soccer ball. The game was demonstrated again.

Against the backdrop of events in our country - tragic events, people are dying, it is impossible to play football today in many strong centers of our country - in particular, in Lugansk, in Donetsk ".

"I would very much like to see football return to Donbass-Arena, to Lugansk in the near future".

"Football should not be politicized, but should play its humanitarian mission - the mission of uniting people, a mission connected with optimism, a mission of happiness," said Grigory Surkis.
