'I never thought I would have the best days on Earth-days that are beautiful simply because they exist. But that’s exactly what the birthdays of Ivanko and Solomiika have become for me... Born just one year and two days apart, they always celebrate together. They grow together. They learn together. The word “together” defines them.' Svyatoslav Vakarchuk

He also expressed his hopes for his children:

'As a father, the only thing I wish for them is a long, happy life filled with light. What else could a dad want? Their happiness is my happiness! And I am deeply grateful to their wonderful mother, Zhenya. On their birthdays. And every single day!' Svyatoslav Vakarchuk
