Today, the capital's operetta theater said goodbye to a ballet dancer: Vadym Khlupyanets

died in heavy battles near Bakhmut

.

The guy was 26.

They say in the theater that his first work book was here.

He came to operetta immediately after the choreographic college in 2015.

This is reported in the evening issue of TSN for November 24.

In three years, he completed his military service, but returned to the stage again.

With the beginning of a full-scale war, he went to the front as a volunteer.

Originally from Donetsk, Vadim defended his native Donbas until his last breath.

Today's premiere in the theater is dedicated to Vadim.

On the last journey, colleagues, as it should be, sent the artist off with applause.

"We have been sitting next to each other in the same dressing room for the past three years. He had a fountain of energy, he was never sad," recalls ballet artist Ihor Voloshyn.

"There was one incident at the Carmen performance: I fell and he picked me up... He is a reliable partner. We were all waiting for him, we hoped that he would come soon and we would still dance together, but..." - says the ballet dancer Liliya Ivashkyk.
