Day 445 of the illegal and repugnant war waged by #Russia on its peaceful neighbour - #Ukraine has never invaded or threatened another country.

The main story tonight is the #Eurovision timed attack on Ukraine which has shocked the world.

This is THE only daily thread you need:

Before we get to the Eurovision related attack, a quick reminder of Saturday's astonishing events.

Four of #Russia's aircraft shot down over Russia as they headed to bomb #Ukraine, more #RussiaOnFire and big explosions in west Ukraine, plus lots more⬇️

At #Eurovision, at elmost the exact moment #Ukraine's act Tvorchi took to the stage, #Russia's missiles bombed the duo's hometown.

The mayor of #Ternopil in west Ukraine reports a non-residential building caught fire in the city. Rescuers are working on the spot.

I liked #Italy. Ok? Kill me.

#finland is being appropriately weird. Thanks! #Eurovision2023

So far two singers of #Moroccan descent on the #Eurovision2023 La Zarra representing #France and #Loreen representing #Sweden.

Right. #Eurovision2023 Round 1 is tomorrow. Lets talk about it.

Acts I love in Round 1:
Finland 🇫🇮- Käärijä "Cha Cha Cha"
Sweden 🇸🇪- Loreen "Tattoo"
Malta 🇲🇹- The Busker "Dance"
Croatia🇭🇷- Let 3 "Mama ŠČ!"

First off, there's #Käärijä. I love this act so much. Its fun, the performance is entertaining, the song is easy and catchy, & it has a lot of memorable bits. Honestly, its not the high art Loreen is bringing, but its what Eurovision is all about. I hope he wins the whole thing.

#Loreen is the queen, and she's almost certainly going to walk away with the whole thing when everything is said and done. Her performance is beautiful and her voice is so incredibly strong. I don't totally love the song, but you can't say she doesn't sell it.

Incredible.

It's #Eurovision week!

Yesterday the delegations arrived on the #TurquoiseCarpet, and tomorrow night the first semi-final will air around the world.

As promised, here's a thread about this year's acts. 🧵1/17

The bookies have 🇸🇪Sweden as the favourite to win, followed by 🇫🇮Finland and 🇫🇷France.

But Sweden's odds have gotten worse since rehearsals started.

The singer, #Loreen, already won for 🇸🇪 in 2012 with Euphoria, a global hit hitting number one on the charts in 21 countries.

Among fans, I keep hearing "I predict Sweden will win but I don't want it to win". People like the song but think a 🇸🇪win is too predictable. 🇸🇪has dominated the contest for 2 decades.

If 🇸🇪win again they'll match Ireland's record for most wins - 7.

A l’écran on a vu la silhouette d’un homme brandissant une pancarte se faire sortir de scène. Puis la réalisation a basculé sur un plan très large et la prestation a été stoppée #Melodifestivalen2023 #Loreen

C’est confirmé : Loreen a un boulevard pour s’imposer en finale du #Melodifestivalen2023 dans deux semaines. Elle n’a pas grande concurrence et ce qu’elle propose est conçu comme un bulldozer prêt à défoncer la scène de l’#Eurovision. Reste à savoir si jurys et public suivront

#Melodifestivalen2023 Voici l’intégralité de la prestation de Loreen sur « Tattoo ». Le côté claustro et très calculé de la mise en scène ne plaira pas à tout le monde. L’émotion débarque sur la dernière minute pour conjurer la froideur qui a précédé
