Kurylenko’s wife reported about this on the Telegram channel. The footballer fought cancer for a long time. In the spring of 2023, Finito reported that he was in remission, but then the disease returned.
On February 9, it became known that Nikita Kurylenko was diagnosed with pneumonia. And on Saturday morning he died.
The wife noted that, despite the illness, Nikita remained strong, was hopeful, and maintained presence of mind.
Kurylenko played for the Amkal club in the media league. He also posted comments on computer football matches on social media.
The club paid tribute to the memory of its former player: “We will miss you friend!”
