Mother and teacher prepare the girls to practice in a ballet studio in a bomb shelter in Kharkiv, Ukraine, Monday, March 18, 2024. In northeast Ukraine, a dance studio that doubles as a bomb shelter is an escape from the horrors of war for about 20 young girls. The Princess Ballet Studio in Kharkiv is a spartan, windowless room, but practicing underground means they can dance through the almost hourly air raid alerts. (AP Photo/Efrem Lukatsky)
