Intervision Faced Pressure, But Contest Successfully Proceeded, Russian FM Says"There were serious attempts to sabotage this competition through intense pressure on some participants. These attempts failed," Sergey Lavrov told Russian media. While artists from 23 countries were initially expected, the US representative was unable to perform due to political pressure from Australia, according to the organizers. However, the US remained a participant with singer Joe Lynn Turner on the jury. The first Intervision final took place in Moscow on Saturday, with Vietnam’s Dyk Phuc winning. Next year, the event will be held in Saudi Arabia.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
