Ukraine's celebrities are dying, adding extra dimension to the nation's shock

An actor who posted glamorous selfies on Instagram until he joined up and uploaded two final shots of himself looking stylish in camouflage.

Artem Datsishin, one of Ukraine's leading dancers and a former principal dancer with the National Opera of Ukraine, died on Thursday at a hospital in the capital city of Kyiv. He had been wounded last month by Russian artillery fire, according to posts by friends on social media. The war is reducing the distance between famous and ordinary Ukrainians because so many non-celebrities are making heroic sacrifices, said Oleksandra Matviichuk, head of Ukraine's Centre for Civil Liberties. It has also made many people focus on issues of life and death that eclipse focus on fame.

The International Biathlon Union mourned the death of a 19-year-old athlete, Yevhen Malyshev. It said in a Twitter post on March 2 that he died while serving in the military.
