Children's theater goes underground in Kharkiv

In the heart of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second largest city, Kharkiv Theater for Children and Youth performs in bomb shelters under constant threats of Russian attacks. The Kyiv Independent visited one of the theater's performances in late June to meet the dedicated actors and their no less dedicated audience.

🇺🇦 Their resilience is inspiring, but heartbreaking at the same time. They deserve to live a fearless childhood, protected from the most horrific evil in the world, like that of the russians.
