A Finland representative at the Eurovision 2023 recently gave a concert in Tallinn, where he disrespected the Ukrainian flag, according to an X (Twitter) user.

The musician tossed aside the blue-yellow flag

During the performance, fans of Käärijä handed the Ukrainian flag to the stage.

Instead of displaying it, he simply grabbed the flag and threw it under the table, waving his hands and saying "No-no-no."

Later in the concert, the artist placed it under the equipment table, and it stayed there until the end of the performance.

Social media users outrage

Ukrainians did not expect such behavior and regretted voting for him in the song contest.

  • Unbelievable, I sent votes for this piece of crap; give my money back.
  • The Ukrainian flag is a great way to expose hypocritical performers.
  • A person whose greatest achievement in life is the ability to control their voice's pitch once again turns out to be without ideas, morals, or values.
  • I hope conscious people just left the concert after this.
  • After the Little Big event, everything became clear.

At Eurovision 2023, Käärijä collaborated with the Ukrainian TVORCHI band and named Verka Serduchka as his favorite artist.

Recently, the performer appeared on Instagram with the Russian group Little Big, who left Russia for the United States in June of last year, condemning the president's actions.
