Amputee begins new career after becoming injured defending his 
country.

A Ukrainian soldier who had both his legs amputated after being 
injured fighting on the frontline has become an unlikely ballet star. 

Oleksandr Budko, 27, has been touring the US with the United 
Ukrainian Ballet company, dancing in front of audiences of up to 
3,000 people with, and without, his prosthetic legs.  

"This choreography is about the consequences of the war, about 
people, about how indomitable we are, despite the pain and losses," 
he said in an Instagram post.
