Ukraine bans singer

Ukraine’s security service has banned Russia’s contestant from this year’s Eurovision song contest because she performed in Crimea.

Russia chose Yulia Samoylova, 27, to represent the country in the May 11-13 contest in Kiev.

But Samoylova has toured in Russia-annexed Crimea without entering it by going through the border with the Ukrainian mainland. Under Ukrainian law, that allows authorities to block her entry into Ukraine.
