In an interview, the 46-year-old who worked in logistics before the war said he learned to play the clarinet at a music school as a youth, then took up the saxophone during the coronavirus pandemic.

A Ukrainian volunteer who helped shuttle civilians by boat to safety from the flooded Kherson area decided to take a break to serve up a different kind of relief: A musical one.

Armed only with his saxophone, Andriy Levishchenko clambered onto the roof of a flooded house to play his saxophone.

Surrounded by high water, Levishchenko played the Ukrainian national anthem as Russian shells fell nearby.
