TL;DR Summary

The city of Ternopil in western Ukraine, the hometown of Ukraine's Eurovision act Tvorchi, was reportedly hit by Russian missiles just moments before the band took to the stage in Liverpool. Two people were injured and warehouses were damaged. Tvorchi performed their song "Heart of Steel" about troops who resisted Russian forces at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol. At the end of their performance, they held their fists in the air as acts from other nations waved the blue and yellow flag of Ukraine. President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the Vatican and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni in Rome before flying to Germany.
