In a recent interview with CNN, he talked in detail about leaving his kids and wife at home. “I have a wife and three kids. If I would stay home, I’d feel guilty that I didn’t come back (to Ukraine), and now I’m here, I feel guilty that I left them at home. Of course, she was mad. She understood the reason for me, but for her, it was a betrayal. And I totally understand why she feels that way,” Stakhovsky said.
