Russia blacklists the Eurovision winner

The Russian authorities have decided to add the Ukrainian singer Jamala, winner of the European Eurovision song festival in 2016, to the wanted list.

All this, as Jamala, whose real name is Susana Jamaladinova, is accused of spreading false information about the Russian armed forces.

Jamala has been an outspoken critic of Russia's attack on Ukraine. She described the Russian "special operation" as genocide against the Ukrainian people.

Jamala, who currently lives in Australia, responded to the news of her placement on Russia's most wanted list by posting a photo in front of the Sydney Opera House, with a link to an article about her and a face emoji.
