TESLENKO intends to represent San Marino at Eurovision 2025

TESLENKO intends to represent San Marino at "Eurovision 2025" after withdrawing from the Ukrainian National Selection

Singer TESLENKO made an unexpected statement: he decided to withdraw from the competition to represent Ukraine at "Eurovision 2025" and focus on participating in the San Marino selection.

Reason for withdrawing from the Ukrainian National Selection
In Instagram stories, TESLENKO explained that his decision to withdraw from the Ukrainian contest was driven by a desire to avoid accusations of trying to draw attention to himself against the backdrop of scandals.

This situation unfolded amid resonant discussions about another long-list participant, ENLEO, who was criticised for a statement about listening to Russian music. TESLENKO had previously noted that he would withdraw his candidacy if ENLEO made the shortlist. However, TESLENKO himself became the centre of controversy: he was accused of performing at an event hosted by blogger Anna Alkhim, known for popularising Russian culture.

Attempt via San Marino
Now, TESLENKO intends to secure participation in "Eurovision 2025" from San Marino. The artist confirmed his participation in the local selection, although he initially intended to keep this information secret.

Interestingly, according to rumours, the leak of information about his participation came from the musician's own team, although TESLENKO claims he wanted to maintain the intrigue.

Thus, the singer is making an unexpected turn in his musical career, aiming to conquer the international stage through one of the smallest countries in Europe.
