Following the match against Shakhtar Donetsk (0-0), some Dynamo players have departed to join their national team camps. Let’s take a look at which White and Blues players will have the opportunity to represent their national teams during the break in club football.
Ukraine national team
The fifth edition of the UEFA Nations League is nearing its conclusion. Ukraine are competing in League B, where their opponents are the national teams of Georgia, Hungary and Northern Ireland. After four rounds, the Yellow and Blues sit in third place with four points, trailing Northern Ireland by four points and Hungary by three.
Ukraine head coach Andrea Maldera has called up three Dynamo players for the November matches. The list includes defender Taras Mykhavko, midfielder Mykola Shaparenko and forward Matviy Ponomarenko. Four more players – goalkeepers Ruslan Neshcheret and Heorhii Bushchan, and midfielders Volodymyr Brazhko and Oleksandr Pikhalionok – have been included in the reserve list.

Suriname national team
Dynamo's Surinamese legionnaire Justin Lonwijk has received another call-up to his national team.
The South American side failed to qualify for the CONCACAF Nations League League A play-offs, so they have only one friendly match scheduled for the upcoming international break – on November 12, Suriname played against Lithuania in Kaunas (kick-off at 19:00 Kyiv time).
Ukraine U21 national team
In mid-November, the team coached by Dmytro Mykhailenko will play two friendly matches against the U21 teams of Scotland (November 12 at 15:00 Kyiv time) and the USA (November 17 at 15:00). Both matches will take place in the Spanish city of San Pedro del Pinatar.
Three representatives of Dynamo Kyiv have been included in the squad – defenders Vladyslav Zakharchenko and Maksym Korobov, as well as midfielder Bohdan Redushko.
Ukraine U19 national team
In mid-November, the Ukraine U19 national team will take part in the second qualifying round of the UEFA European Under-19 Championship 2027, which will be held in Ancona, Italy.
The Yellow and Blues will play three matches: on November 11, they will face their counterparts from Israel; on November 14, they will take on the hosts of the mini-tournament, Italy; and on November 17, they will play Romania.
Three Dynamo players have also been included in the Ukraine U19 squad: defenders Danylo Ohorodnik and Nazar Ivaskiv, as well as midfielder Pavlo Liusin.
