A Greek artist named Akylas, who became a finalist at Eurovision 2026, sparked controversy after performing an English version of a song by the Russian band 'Tatu', which supports Russia's war against Ukraine. The song, titled 'All The Things She Said' (original title: 'Я сошла с ума'), was performed during a live event, leading to strong reactions online. Ukrainian users expressed outrage over the choice of song, criticizing the artist for supporting a group that openly backs the Putin regime. The situation caught the attention of Ukraine’s representative at Eurovision 2026, singer LELEKA, who condemned the performance, linking it to recent attacks on Kyiv and expressing deep emotional distress.
