DISINFO: The residents of Kyiv will be paying more for electricity...

SUMMARY

The residents of Kyiv will be paying more for electricity in order to finance the Eurovision 2017 song contest that the Ukrainian capital is hosting in May.

RESPONSE

The Kyiv city administration announced at the end of January that city residents would not be called on to finance the international contest and any information to the contrary was simply false. Further debunking at Stopfake bit.ly/2mlVxLr, .
