A British man living in Kyiv has claimed locals are more interested in the country’s Eurovision hopes than the threat of a Russian invasion.

Daniel Williams, 45, who is originally from the Isle of Wight and now lives in Kyiv as a business investor, said it would take Russian “hardware” crossing the border into Ukraine for most people to leave their homes.
