The Ukrainian singer is confident that the Kyiv authorities, as the hosts of the event, should prohibit not only those on the Ministry of Culture blacklist from performing on the Eurovision stage, but also all Russians in general.
Prikhodko sees the only way out of the situation as a convoy, which, according to her, should be assigned to all members of the Russian delegation in order to avoid provocations.
“The delegation from Russia, as always, will be aggressive and provocative. For what? And in order to make some new provocation in the media, so that they start talking about them. We need to be prepared for this. But again, the competition will be held on our left bank? Well, let the Russian delegation be on the right. They brought me under escort and took me back,” she suggested.
Let us remind you that Anastasia Prikhodko is a graduate of the Russian “Star Factory”. In 2009, the singer represented Russia at Eurovision with the song “Mamo” and took 11th place. Tours in Russian cities and cooperation with Russian producers and composers stopped in 2014. Today Prikhodko has changed her vector and is raising money for the Ukrainian army.
