Techno music is helping to repair a village in northern Ukraine.
Yahidne, a town of about 300 people, has been wrecked by the Russian occupation.
But the young folks in the country aren’t going to let the devastation stay that way.
The villages cultural center was one structure destroyed by a Russian rocket strike in March.
As that happened, a DJ spun techno and dance music atop a stack of ammunition boxes.
People would take breaks and dance in the open areas, seemingly one with the music.
Volunteering is my lifestyle now,explained Tania Burianova, an organizer with the Repair Together initiative.
I like electronic music and I used to party.
But now its wartime and we want to help, and were doing it with music.
Ukraine is known for its nightclubs that draw visitors from around the world.
The scene was brought to a halt once Russia invaded the country on February 24.
One of the latest raves was in Yahidne, a town of about 300 people.
Some would take dance breaks.
