Might be tricky considering men are banned from leaving the country and have to fight in the war. Kalush got special dispensation, I doubt they will be able to do as you have suggested. Don’t get me wrong though, I agree it would be the right thing to do if possible

Fair point,  though such a production regardless where it's held will consume many staff for weeks beforehand, so if held in Ukraine the men would still have stepped away from war service,  so leaving the country is essentially no different

That’s true.
