Abstract

The article focuses on how ballet has become a powerful form of cultural diplomacy amid the Russo-Ukrainian War, with Ukrainian dancers and choreographers like Alexei Ratmansky using the art form to express resistance and solidarity. It highlights how the United Ukrainian Ballet, composed of refugee dancers, and productions like Wartime Elegy reflect Ukraine's resilience while contrasting with Russia's historical use of ballet as an instrument of state power and propaganda.
