- He suffers from long-term health issues including anaemia and pancreatitis due to radiation exposure.
- Only five of the 40 workers from his company are still alive.
- Hurin is advocating for a special disability pension for liquidators.
- His grandson, Andrii Vorobkalo, was a soldier killed in the conflict following Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
