Actor Yuri Baturin acknowledged that he has not spoken with his mother, who lives in Ukraine, for nearly a year. The remarks were shared in an interview quoted by StarHit.
He explained that he has learned through third-party sources that her situation remains stable, and he avoids direct contact because he is uncertain what might be said in response. This cautious approach reflects a deliberate choice about how much information to receive and how it could affect him.
According to Baturin, his feelings toward his relatives have not shifted. He maintains a steadfast stance on family ties and mutual support, even when communication becomes challenging.
He described his ongoing effort to stay connected in small, indirect ways, noting that he sends his grandchild’s photographs to his mother through intermediaries. This method of sharing moments keeps the connection alive while bridging the distance.
Despite the distance and the delicate circumstances, the actor expressed a sincere hope for reconciliation with his family in the future.
“I love you, mom. I think about you and my father every day,” he stated, adding heartfelt sentiments that reveal the depth of his longing and responsibility toward his parents. He addressed his parents directly, explaining who he strives to be and why his choices reflect his personal values. In those words, he asked for understanding and patience, recognizing that reactions may differ but underscoring his own motives. (StarHit)
