As the Eurovision Song Contest continued in Britain on Saturday, Russian missiles struck the western Ukraine city of Ternopil, home to electro-pop duo Tvorchi, this 12 months’s Ukrainian entrants.
Local authorities, writing on Telegram, said the strike struck warehouses belonging to business enterprises and a non secular organization, injuring two people.
Since October last 12 months, Russia has launched a whole lot of missile and missile attacks against Ukrainian targets.
Melinda Simmons, the British ambassador in Kiev, praised Tvorchi for his or her participation in Eurovision 2023.
“The staging was good. And poignant because their home university city of Ternopil was attacked by Russian missiles tonight,” she tweeted.
Tvorchi said this week that he hoped to shine in the highlight about their country’s fight for freedom.
The Ukrainian Kalush Orchestra received an enormous wave of support from throughout Europe to win the contest last 12 months, but Ukraine was unable to stage this 12 months’s Eurovision, as usual winner, as a consequence of the invasion of Russia.
