Urusky went on to study at the University of Warsaw's Anglophone International Relations program. Later, he transferred to the University of Calcutta in India to pursue similar studies. However, he interrupted his education to participate in the Euromaidan protests.

For his contributions, Urusky was awarded the Order of Merit, III degree, by then-President Petro Poroshenko. From 2014 to 2019, he worked as a local producer for Fox News in Ukraine and participated in reporting from the occupied Donbas region.
