A professional folk musician is serenading Ukrainian forces with patriotic songs ahead of a possible Russian advance on the capital.

Footage captured on March 17 showed Taras Kompanichenko, the soloist from the group 'Chorea Kozacka', standing at a barricade in Independence Square and playing a traditional Ukrainian string instrument called a kobza.

At times the melodies rising from Kompanichenko's lute mingled with the sound of an air raid siren ringing out across the city.

Kompanichenko, who took part in the Orange Revolution from 2004 to 2005, has now signed up to Ukraine's territorial guard, manning barricades and helping deliver humanitarian aid
