And Kilman has said in an interview with the BBC that he would like to play for the national teams of Russia or Ukraine - "the doors are still open."

“When I was little, we sometimes went to Moscow. I also spent a lot of time in Kiev, where many of my mother's relatives still live. My Russian is not as good as it should be, but I can express myself," Kilman said.

Kilman's parents are from the former USSR. Both mum and dad are half Russian, half Ukrainian. Mum is from Kiev. Dad is from Moscow.
