One of Ukraine's Eurovision winners bid his girlfriend an emotional farewell before bravely heading back to his war torn homeland to fight in the war against Russia.
Oleh Psiuk from folk-rap group Kalush Orchestra was pictured kissing partner Oleksandra as he left his hotel in Turin, Italy, on Sunday, May 15, following the band's victory in the competition.
Psiuk has to return to the fray under Ukrainian law, which has banned all men aged 18 to 60 from leaving the country so that they can contribute to the war effort. He said in an interview with Rolling Stone that the ban was enforced in the first hours of the invasion - just two days after his band was selected to represent the country at Eurovision 2022.
