Funds were raised to support the dancers' lives, allowing them to return to dancing and maintain normal performances. In 2023, as the pandemic eased and borders reopened, the United Ukrainian Ballet became the first international-class ballet company to perform in Taiwan in full scale after a three-year hiatus.
