Russia tags UK NGO raising funds for Ukraine as undesirable — prosecutor’s office Eurovision Mission to Europe has announced its active support for Ukrainian forcesMOSCOW, November 13. /TASS/. The Russian Prosecutor General’s Office has banned the activities of the British non-governmental organization Eurovision Mission to Europe that describes itself as a charity aimed at helping Christian communities in Eastern Europe, the press service of the prosecutor’s office said. "By a decision of the Russian Prosecutor General’s Office, the activities of the organization Eurovision Mission to Europe have been recognized as undesirable. It was created with the supposed aim of promoting the Christian faith, spiritual enlightenment and helping those in need," the Prosecutor General’s Office said. "Despite its declared spiritual mission, Eurovision Mission to Europe has announced its active support for Ukrainian forces. Its website has organized a fundraiser for the Ukrainian army and local nationalist formations, including the purchase of cars, generators, bulletproof vests, drones and optical equipment," the Prosecutor General’s Office stressed. The organization’s representatives are working together with Ukrainian military chaplains, regularly visiting combat units and performing religious rites there. "At the same time, Russophobic narratives are being promoted," the Prosecutor General’s Office added. "In their public statements, the head of the organization and his inner circle are calling on Western countries to provide additional weapons and equipment to the Kiev regime."
