You gonna tell me the first months of 2014 everything was peaches and cream over there?
Lemme refresh your mind so you can yourself
Early December 2013 : Protesters occupy Kiev city hall and Independence Square. Some 800,000 people rally in Kiev.
16-23 January: Parliament passes restrictive anti-protest laws as clashes turn deadly. Protesters begin storming regional government offices in western Ukraine.
18 February: Clashes erupt, with reasons unclear: 18 dead.
20 February: Kiev sees its worst day of violence for almost 70 years. At least 88 people are killed in 48 hours. Video shows uniformed snipers firing at protesters holding makeshift shields.
21 February: President Yanukovych signs compromise deal with opposition leaders.
22 February:
President Yanukovych disappears
Protesters take control of presidential administration buildings
Parliament votes to remove president from power with elections set for 25 May
Mr Yanukovych appears on TV to denounce "coup"
His arch-rival Yulia Tymoshenko is freed from jail
Do you want me to go on?
Eeeeeeeem and what?
Now Ukraine is in war. People dying. And you asked about doubtful song contest...
I doubt the west is gonna give Russia a victory, Italy as last? bye, no chance of winning (I'll gladly be proven wrong tho, Sweden winning again would be boring).
On a side note. Why is there no Ukraine? They always had nice songs too.
because of the political situation with russia i guess
lbr they have other problems than the eurovision at the moment
