    The Wider Image: In Ukraine’s Kharkiv, ballet offers ‘rebirth’ after

    A ballerina prepares for practising the revival of 'Chopiniana,' the first since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, in the underground area of the National Academic Opera and Ballet Theatre amid ongoing attacks, in Kharkiv, Ukraine, April 25, 2025. "In spite of everything - the fact that bombs are flying, drones, and everything else - we can give a gift of something wonderful to people," said ballerina Antonina Radiievska, 43. "They can come and, even if it's just for an hour or two, completely immerse themselves in a different world." REUTERS/Marko Djurica SEARCH "DJURICA UKRAINE BALLET" FOR THIS STORY.
