Simultaneous dance events held as part of Eurovision build-up, with ticket proceeds to help people in war-torn Ukrainian cities
“Hello Liverpool!” came the enthusiastic greeting from Vlad Yaremchuk, one of the organisers of a dance event livestreaming to the UK from behind the decks in the free-spirited Kyiv club HVLV. “I really hope you enjoy and keep supporting Ukraine. We feel it here and it means a lot to us.”
“God save the King!” exclaimed a partygoer in a multicoloured fleece on the dancefloor. Young women twirled around each other beside a stoic man dressed in camouflage, all streamed on to large screens at two venues on the opposite ends of Europe.
