Famous Ukrainian dancer and Armed Forces serviceman Dmytro Dikusar appeared in public for the first time in a long time as a judge on the show "Dancing with the Stars." On December 18, the filming of a pre-New Year charity episode took place, which came as a surprise to many fans.
Dikusar, who has been defending the country as part of the Armed Forces since the full-scale war began, appeared on screen due to a coincidence—it became possible during his short leave. He joined the show's panel alongside notable figures such as singer Dmytro Monatik, ballerina Kateryna Kukhar, and artist Natalia Mogilevska.
Special attention was drawn to the dancer's appearance in a modest black suit with a white shirt, as the public usually saw him in military uniform. Natalia Mogilevska, one of the show's judges, shared a joint photo with Dmytro on her Instagram page, which immediately attracted public attention.
The charity episode of "Dancing with the Stars" aims to raise funds for the purchase of special evacuation vehicles for transporting wounded soldiers to hospitals. Dikusar himself admitted that he initially doubted whether it was appropriate to participate in such a project under the current circumstances, but decided to support the initiative because it has an important charitable purpose. "When I was invited, I noted that it was a charity event, because I wouldn't consider this proposal just for simple entertainment," the dancer shared his thoughts.
The filming began after a four-year hiatus from the program's broadcast and resumed for the first time as a charity special. Viewers will be able to watch the special episode on the "1+1 Ukraine" TV channel on December 28 at 8:00 PM. Such events not only support the morale of viewers but also serve as a bridge to the peaceful life everyone hopes for.
