Hundreds of Ukrainian people living in Ireland have turned out for a flash mob performed by some of the country’s biggest stars.
Singer Kazka, comedian Victoria Bulitko and actor Olena Kravets were greeted by an ecstatic audience in Grafton Street, Dublin.
The trio led the crowd in singing the Ukrainian national anthem and prompted a singalong.
Ms Kravets is a long-time friend of Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy. She played the role of Zelensky’s ex-wife in the hugely successful Ukrainian TV series Servant of the People.
The comedy, which can be seen on Channel 4 with subtitles, has been credited with raising Mr Zelenskiy’s approval.
The trio are participating in a sold out concert at the TLT Theatre in Drogheda on Saturday organised by Ukrainian promoter Nick Levchenko, who brought Zelenskiy to Ireland in 2017.
Mr Levchenko said he was very proud of the turnout and the support the community has given for Saturday night’s event.
