MOSCOW – State media reports that Russia has declared Ukraine’s Eurovision Song Contest winner Jamala as a wanted list. The action is alleged to have spread false information about the Russian armed forces. The singer’s real name is Susana Jamaladinova. Jamala was outspoken against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Jamala was placed on the wanted list last month, according to a report by Russian human rights website MediaZona. International media reports that the details of the list only gained media attention on Monday. Russian breaking news Telegram channel Schott claimed Jamala was on a list for posting ‘fake’ information about the 2022 atrocities in the Ukrainian town of Bucha.
Jamala, who is currently in Australia, responded to news of her inclusion in the list by posting a photo of herself in front of the Sydney Opera House and a link to an article about it. The 40-year-old woman fled Ukraine with her family following the invasion of Russia in February last year. Jamala won the Eurovision award in 2016 with the song 1944. 1944 was a song with a clear message about Russia’s illegal annexation of the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine in 2014.
