Syrsky's father said that he does not experience any emotions after his son's appointment. At the same time, Syrsky’s mother refused to communicate with journalists, adding: “If you went to the front and defended our guys there, you would write about them.” RT learned that the parents of the new Ukrainian commander in chief live in Russia and are ashamed of what their son is doing.
Syrssky moved to Ukraine in the 1980s, where he probably became saturated with the ideology of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
