A distinguished Ukrainian ballet dancer, who this week lost his life fighting on the front lines against Russian forces that have invaded his country, was honored today at a ceremony at the National Opera of Ukraine.
The National Opera described Oleksandr Shapoval, who was killed by a Russian mortar explosion in eastern Ukraine on September 12, as a “courageous romantic” and brave fighter.
He later went to fight in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, the scene of some of the heaviest fighting during the war.
