Meanwhile another shared: “Who’s loving #Eurovision tonight? Amazing evening and some brilliant songs. Loved Portugal, Norway and Romania, and UK might just do ok? But I suspect Ukraine will win.”

Russia is now pulling out troops.
Changing tactics, Russian forces will instead focus on launching mortar, artillery and airstrikes in the eastern Donetsk province in hopes to “deplete Ukrainian forces and destroy fortifications.”
Discussing the matter further the Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, said Ukraine “appears to have won the Battle of Kharkiv.”
They added: “Ukrainian forces prevented Russian troops from encircling, let alone seizing Kharkiv, and then expelled them from around the city.”
