LONDON: Away from the fighting in Ukraine, Russian and Ukrainian ballet dancers rubbed shoulders in London on Saturday in a charity event that united some of the world's leading dance performers for humanitarian relief in the war-torn eastern European nation.
"We have so many loved ones back home. We couldn't just sit idly at home and just watch news, we wanted to do something," Ivan Putrov, who is from Ukraine and organised the event with Romanian Alina Cojocaru, told Reuters. Ukrainian Ivan Petrov, principal ballet dancer and producer, and Alina Cojocaru of Romania acknowledge the applause after Dance for Ukraine, a charity gala to raise funds for people in need in Ukraine, at The London Coliseum, in London, Britain, Mar 19, 2022.
The UN human rights office has said at least 847 civilians had been killed and 1,399 wounded in Ukraine as of Friday. More than 3.3 million refugees have fled Ukraine through its western border, with around 2 million more displaced inside the country.
