A nationwide air alert was triggered in Ukraine on Sunday night. According to local media reports, the trigger should have been rocket launches by several strategic bombers of the Russian Air Force from the area of the Caspian Sea. Ternopil, the hometown of the Ukrainian ESC participants Tvorchi, was attacked by Russia on Saturday evening during the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC).
Shortly before the duo’s performance in Liverpool, explosions from Russian rockets shook the western Ukrainian city, regional council chairman Mykhailo Holovko said. The authorities called on the residents to go to shelters. Two people are said to have been injured in the attack, the Ukrainian authorities said on Telegram.
The air alert was triggered in parallel with the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to Germany. Selenskyj announced shortly following midnight (CEST) that he had already arrived in Berlin. After the USA, Germany is the largest military supporter of Kiev. It was only on Saturday that the German Ministry of Defense announced another large support package. For Selenskyj it is the first visit to Germany since the beginning of the war 14 months ago. Most recently, the Ukrainian military was able to intercept a large part of the Russian missiles and drones with the help of anti-aircraft technology supplied in particular from Germany.
