As a result, Kirill was born in Russia to Russian parents but spent most of his childhood in Esbjerg.

In 2014, Starkov was suspended for 4 games for breaking the etiquette rules set by the Danish Federation while playing for Esbjerg in the Danish Elite League. Kirill did not have any effect on the match in question. But breaking the rules set by the Danish Federation gave him a 4 games suspension. He returned to the Danish National team 10 months later and played 2 World Championships.
