Ukrainian Eurovision act’s home town ‘under Russian missile attack’

Ukraine is under fire from Russian air strikes while the Eurovision Song Contest is taking place, Britain’s Ambassador to Ukraine has said.

Dame Melinda Simmons tweeted: “Meanwhile, this Eurovision night Ukraine is under another Russian missile attack. Reminder that the reason why (Ukraine) could not host this event is because (Russia) continues to invade and the people of (Ukraine) live in continuing danger.”

The university home town of this year’s entrant for Ukraine, Tvorchi, is reported to be one of the areas that is being targeted.

Mayor of Ternopil Serhii Nadal has urged local people to remain in a safe place until the air-raid alert ceases.
