Ukrainian singer shares war experience on The Voice of Greece

Angelina Ivanova, a 25-year-old Ukrainian singer currently residing in Thessaloniki, participated in the recent episode of The Voice of Greece. During her blind audition, she successfully impressed judges Elena Paparizou and Panos Mouzourakis with her performance, ultimately choosing to join team Paparizou.

Before taking the stage, Ivanova shared her personal experience regarding the Russian invasion of Ukraine. She recounted that on February 24, 2022, the sound of a low-flying missile and subsequent explosions forced her to flee her home in Mykolaiv. She described spending three months living in her grandparents' basement, suffering from severe anxiety and depression due to the constant threat, finding refuge only in singing.

Ivanova, who has been singing since the age of nine and previously competed in talent shows in her home country, now continues her musical journey in Greece as part of the competition.
