Kyiv Blog Day 12: Thursday 11th May 2017

Words by Hass Yusuf, images by David Ransted. This blog will be constantly updated throughout the day.

Well, what a fab night we had at the British Embassy in Lyiv. Robin Scott and myself managed to grab a quick interview with Judith Gough our Ambassador to Ukraine. Lucie Jones and Emmelie de Forest also performed for us. Check out the video below.

Here are a few more images from the event.
