The Georgian National Ballet Sukhishvilebi has successfully started its lengthy tour of Ukraine with an emotional performance in support of the embattled nation.
The tour has just kicked off and will continue for more than a month, with performances in more than 20 cities of Ukraine.
The tour will extend to many cities of the country, including in eastern Ukraine where dangerous separatist fighting is continuing.
Sukhishvilebi, the internationally acclaimed folk dance company, was founded in 1945. The official name of the troupe is the Georgian National Ballet but in Georgia everyone calls it Sukhishvilebi after its founder Iliko Sukhishvili. Over the years this name has become the brand name for the brilliant performances of Georgian folk dance.
