Vietnamese singer Duc Phuc has received Russia’s Intervision tune contest, held in Moscow on Saturday.
Vietnam was amongst 23 international locations taking part within the Soviet-era contest, revived by President Vladimir Putin three years after Russia was banned from Eurovision due to its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Putin stated he was assured the occasion would grow to be “one of the vital recognisable and beloved occasions on the planet”.
Ukraine’s overseas ministry stated it thought-about Intervision 2025 “an instrument of hostile propaganda and a method of whitewashing the aggressive coverage of the Russian Federation”.
China and India have been among the many individuals, however Australian-born singer Vassy, representing the US, pulled out on the final minute due to “unprecedented political strain from the Authorities of Australia”, the organisers stated.
