Russia slams Kiev’s ‘outrageous’ ban on Eurovision singer
Russia slams Ukraine for imposing a travel ban on its contestant for the Eurovision Song Contest in Kiev over a past performance in Russia-annexed Crimea.
“This is yet another outrageous, cynical and inhumane act by the Kiev authorities,” Russia’s Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin tells the Interfax news agency.
Earlier, Yuliya Samoilova was barred for three years.
