Spare a thought for Max Kilman

I hope this is appropriate.

We have a young man with a Russian father and a Ukrainian mother, and this lunacy occurring in Eastern Europe must be tugging at his emotions. It is possible Max has friends and/or relatives who are there, and I'm sure our thoughts are with them, and all others being affected by the violence.

Thoughts are with you, Max.

It must be affecting him, especially the conflict of being bi-national. I hope he and his family are OK.

As the war continues, it must be unbelievably tough for Maximilian and all with family in Ukraine. I hope this will continue to be highlighted at Molineux when he is playing.

There was a brief mention of Maximilian and his father in this article in the London Review of Books of all places. The journalist encountered a family friend while in Kyiv:

On Reitarska I went into an antique shop and talked to Alexander, who claimed godfathership to Max Kilman, a first team defender at Wolverhampton Wanderers. (Kilman’s late father, like Alexander, was in the Ukrainian antiques business.) Alexander ridiculed the idea that Russia would dare invade Ukraine. After seven years fighting in the east, he said, Ukraine’s army was too strong and experienced.
