Ukrainian opera singer Yurii Ivaskevych traded his tuxedo for military fatigues to fight the Russian invasion. When he lost his leg in a mine explosion last year, music called him again.
Ivaskevych, 51, is a member of Cultural Forces, a recently created Ukrainian military unit that consists of professional musicians who perform for soldiers on the front lines to lift their spirits and relieve them, if only briefly, of the horrors of war.
