Independence Day Parade to Be Staged by Alan Badoev and Elena Kolyadenko
And will Max Barskikh sing?
This year, instead of the official Independence Day Parade, as was done before, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky decided to hold a "March of Dignity".
The march will be directed by well-known music video director Alan Badoev together with choreographer and director Elena Kolyadenko.
The first rehearsal took place on the morning of August 15 at the Antonov aircraft plant in Kyiv, reports RBC.
The March of Dignity will involve representatives of various Ukrainian military units, ATO veterans, teachers, athletes, medics, volunteers, diplomats and children.
"Independence Day is the honor and memory of our country. On this festive and solemn day, we want to add some spectacle that every Ukrainian will understand. Of course, the main state canons will be observed. We respect them and strive to take every detail into account," say the directors of the event.
Supporters of Ukraine's fifth president Petro Poroshenko will also hold their own event — the "March of Defenders of Ukraine".
