Today, the 46-year-old skater pleased numerous fans who are very worried about his condition. Roman posted two photos of himself on his personal blog.

The ex-partner of Tatiana Navka posed in a black sweatshirt with the hood pulled over his head. The athlete lost a lot of weight, he had stubble on his face. Kostomarov looked sternly into the lens.

“Thank you to everyone who worried about me, prayed and believed that I would get out of this difficult situation that life gave me,” Roman addressed the fans. “Many difficulties are still ahead of us, but I hope that I can manage everything thanks to my relatives, relatives and doctors who took me out of the other world and are still working with me today. Thank you all! You have a lot of hard work ahead of you.”

Friends with whom he worked in Ice Age and other stars responded to the skater’s post. “Roma!!! You are our tiger!!! We love you very much,” assured Natalya Podolskaya. “Roma! We all love you very much!!! Our irreplaceable tiger!” Alla Mikheeva wrote. “You are a very brave man, Roman! And a fighter!!! I care about you and I trust you!!!” – said Daria Poverennova. “Rome, I’m glad to hear you!!! Strength to you!!!! wished Jekatěrina Striženová.

Kostomarov is helped to fight for his life by his wife Oksana Domnina. The skater was the only one of his loved ones who was constantly with him in the intensive care unit.

Ice show choreography director Ilya Averbukh has been in contact with Roman via voice messages since the end of March. “We are going in the right direction,” Liza Arzamasová’s husband said yesterday. Nothing is critical to health. Then step by step – recovery. Very long, very complex, we communicate all the time. He is very young. We all just support him. No need to speculate, no need to spread unverified information. Everything is on the road to recovery. The road is hard, let’s go through it together.

Kostomarov ended up in the intensive care unit in Kommunarka with severe pneumonia on January 10. In connection with sepsis, the skater had serious problems with blood circulation. In February, the athlete had both legs amputated, and in March, his fingers were amputated.
