Personal life
[edit]Harbar was born in Krasnyi Luch but in 2014 his family was forced to move to Druzhkivka in neighbouring Donetsk Oblast due to Russian occupation of their home town. After the Russian invasion of Ukraine, they were forced to move once again, this time to Kyiv.[1]
He picked up taekwondo at the age of 3 and his first trainer was his father Serhii.[1] According to his interview, he had an agreement with his older brother Andrii he competes in the same weight category with that the latter would try to qualify for the 2024 Summer Olympics (which he did not manage to achieve) and he would try to qualify for the 2028 Summer Olympics.[1]
