Jamala: Ukrainian Eurovision winner on Russia wanted list says Kremlin is trying to ‘scare’ her | World News<\/p>\n

A Eurovision winner who has been added to Russia’s wanted list says the Kremlin is lying about her and trying to “scare” her – as she voiced fears for her family’s safety.<\/p>\n

Ukrainian singer Susana Jamaladinova – who performs under the name Jamala and won the Eurovision Song Contest<\/strong> in 2016 – is accused by Moscow of spreading false information<\/strong> about the Russian armed forces.<\/p>\n

She was charged under a law introduced in 2022, which bans spreading “fake” information about the Russian<\/strong> military and the ongoing fighting in Ukraine, according to the Russian independent news site Mediazona.<\/p>\n

Describing how she felt when she learned of the charges, Ms Jamaladinova told Sky News: “I was upset only because of my relatives.<\/p>\n

“I don’t care much about myself because [performing] is my way of using my voice to help my country and tell the truth.<\/p>\n

“It’s such a stressful thing for my family, for my parents, kids. I worry about them.”<\/p>\n

Ms Jamaladinova, who is of Crimean Tatar descent, won Eurovision with her song 1944 – which Russia unsuccessfully campaigned to have banned from the annual contest.<\/p>\n

The title refers to the year that the Soviet Union deported nearly 200,000 Crimean Tatars from Crimea.<\/p>\n

Her winning performance came almost exactly two years after Russia annexed Crimea and political turmoil gripped Ukraine in 2014.<\/p>\n

In the years since, Ms Jamaladinova has performed 1944 around the world. She pointed out that her travels are very visible on Instagram, should Moscow be trying to track her down.<\/p>\n

“Three days ago I was in Washington,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Five days ago I was in Paris. You know, you can find all the information about me.”<\/p>\n

Ms Jamaladinova released an album titled Qirim, which means Crimea, earlier this year and told Sky News that authorities may have visited her relatives around that time.<\/p>\n

“I heard rumours someone came to my relatives in Crimea and tried to frighten them,” she said.<\/p>\n

“[They’re] trying to stop me or scare me\u2026 but I strongly believe that as an artist, as a musician, as a songwriter, I can be real and live my life as I want.”<\/p>\n

Ms Jamaladinova said recent events had shown that “music can speak and convey the truth”.<\/p>\n

“And the truth is the truth,” she added.<\/p>\n

“There is no getting away from it.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
