A planned guest appearance by Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy at Italy's biggest showbiz event - the Sanremo song festival - is attracting cross-party criticism in a country where public support for Kyiv's war effort is at best lukewarm.
Sanremo, running Feb. 7-11, is a glitzy affair that attracts record audiences on TV and inspired the more famous Eurovision song festival. Zelenskiy is expected to briefly participate via video link on the closing night.
