Even though we are far apart, we are still together. We are connected, and we love each other," #Kyrylo said.

#Kyrylo is from #Kherson. He shared that it's "difficult mentally" to cope with the devastation wrought on his home city by #Russia, but skating helps him to feel alive and show all his emotions.

21-year-old #Ukrainian figure skater #Kyrylo_Marsak dedicated his performance to his dad #Andrii, who is currently defending #Ukraine.

#Kyrylo skated to the song called "Fall on Me," a father-son duet by #Andrea and #Matteo_Bocelli. His dad sent it to him.

"Me and my coach really liked it and thought it could be an amazing story to tell. It's about the connection of a father and the son, and it represents my connection with my father.

Now, in #Kryvyi_Rih, on November 11, mom #Olena and her three kids – 10-year-old #Kyrylo, 2.8-year-old #Demyd, and 2-month-old #Uliana - killed by a #Russian strike Their dad survived and was waiting outside while the rubble was being cleared and their bodies were found...

There are so many terrible tragedies around us caused by #Russia.

#Kyrylo is one of those held in a basement in the #Chernihiv region by the #Russians in March 2022, along with more than three hundred other civilians. They survived for weeks in horrible conditions; several people died.

At the time, #Kyrylo, who had been playing football since childhood (at the stadium that #Russian troops destroyed as well), dreamed that he would one day be able to return to the game.
