The Ukrainian village of Yahidne has become the venue for “clean-up raves” where the youth of the area volunteer to clean the ruble while simultaneously arranging dance parties.

With a DJ playing techno music on the turntables, hundreds of people have taken up the task of cleaning the village which was destroyed by a Russian rocket strike back in March.

Ukraine was well known for its club scene and according to the organisers, the parties are sort of a tribute to the culture of the country before the Russian invasion began in February 2022.

This is also the chance for the people in the village to finally rejoice after spending almost a month in hiding after Russian forces attacked the buildings with missiles back in March during the occupation of the northern Chernihiv province.

Most of the volunteers are from Kyiv or Lyiv but some of them have travelled from other countries as well likePortugal, the United States, Germany and many more, according to Associated Press.
