Russian dancer Pasha Kovalev has shared his thoughts on Vladimir Putin's action against Ukraine, saying it 'shouldn't be happening'.
The 42-year-old former Strictly star said his Russian family's history has roots in Ukraine, saying: "I cannot understand why the two countries are at war."
'It was difficult to comprehend this whole situation, I have Russian roots but my family goes back to Ukraine long, long generations ago. I cannot even comprehend how those two nations can be in war,' the dancer revealed while speaking on Lorraine Thursday.
Russian president Vladimir Putin unleashed its multi-pronged invasion of Ukraine on February 24, accusing their neighbours of being a threat to their security and claiming his goal was to 'demilitarise' the country.
