Ballet master and choreographer Viktor Voynikov killed in the war.

During a combat mission in the war, ballet artist, choreographer, and ballet master Viktor Voynikov was killed. His death is linked to his service in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, where he was mobilized in 2023. Viktor dedicated his life to the development of dance art.
