Ukrainian singer Maruv says she will not represent her country at Eurovision after a political row with Kiev over her performance in Russia
Ukrainian singer Anna Korsun, known by the stage name Maruv, speaks to the media after the Ukrainian national final selection for the Eurovision Song Contest in Kiev, Ukraine February 23, 2019.
But she said the state broadcaster had tried to impose contractual obligations on her, including requiring her not to perform in Russia. She said that would have made her a propagandist for the Kiev government. Maruv and the National Public Broadcasting Company of Ukraine failed to come to an agreement, but the participants who came second and third rejected a proposal to go to Israel instead of Maruv, citing their tight schedules.
