In the sanctions negotiations, Italy negotiated being allowed to continue exporting luxury fashion and Belgium negotiated the possibility of continuing to trade diamonds with Russia. Austria's Chancellor Nehammer was initially opposed to a ban of Swift for Russia, but after hearing the public's harsh criticism, he said he will agree with the ban.

Never liked Polina's entry and always thought she was too over the top with her emotions to be real... turns out my gut feeling was right for once, thanks stomach

He is the only double representative why are you being weird about me? I like his songs im just saying he cant complain on social media when he represented Russia twice after they invaded crimea he is complicit

What‘s the difference weather he represents them once or twice? What about the Russian participants after Sergey? A lot of Russian celebs put out anti-war statements today and their concern but none of them called out any names. They are in fear too. At least they do raise their voice at all.

I had the right feeling when I disliked their entry in 2015.

Official statement from the Italian Government here. Please do not believe rumors or news without confirmation from official sources, especially if those are press-created gossips, it is a serious situation and there are many governments talking together to find a solution.

EBU SCREAMING

I was uninterested about NF before the war... Man you really have to be bored to watch a bunch of weird people from Lithuania or smthng singing weird stuff in Lithuanian... I hope every eurovision fan in the world can have a playstation or a netfix connection...

How is playstation and neflix any better than a Lithuanian national final?
Unless you are 16, you gotta delevop your hobbies
Ideas: go out, do sports, art, go for a swim, read a book, see friends, take the dog for a walk, watch a lithuanian national final.

About Polina, I dont think shes evil, you can tell by the look on her face shes just stupid.

So, next is #BanMoldova

#BanKirkorov should do the trick here.

Well since you're the armpit of europe, I guess Kirkorov could become the AssholeOfMusicIndustry?

 

[Bmbriga]

I wanna pay a drink to whomever is talking to Kirkorov in that convo.

Agree, targeted sanctions. #BanKirkorov

 

[PollyWantsACracker]

Now these are some heavy sanctions and a ban that made me laugh as if I havent laughed for a decade.
