Escalating Tensions: Russia and Ukraine Exchange Attacks

Russian missiles hit the hometown of Ukrainian band Tvorchi just before their Eurovision performance in Liverpool. Two people were injured in the attack, according to city officials. Tvorchi referenced the missile strike in Instagram posts before and after their performance of "Heart of Steel." Last year, after Ukrainian folk-rap group Kalush Orchestra won Eurovision, reports surfaced of handwritten messages on Russian missiles referencing the band's onstage calls for aid. Ukraine won Eurovision last year, but a panel of security experts and broadcasters deemed it unfit to host this year's competition because of the war.
