Ukraine Today is joined by a Ukrainian journalist Dmytro Furdak who took on Russian propagandists at Eurovision International Song Contest as the International jury awarded the first prize to Jamala's entry titled "1944," dedicated to the deportation of the Crimean Tatars.
During the award ceremony, Ukrainian fans cheered the singer with the traditional greeting "Glory to Ukraine!" Their chanting left a Russian-owned state TV journalist outraged, according to Ukraine Today.
"He claimed political slogans were unacceptable at an international event. I told him, it was a patriotic slogan. I also advised him to confess, because after Putin dies, Russian correspondents will realize they were telling lies," the Ukrainian journalist Dmytro Furdak says.
