First covid restrictions and now a homeland in war against Ukraine.
Alena Yashkina's first meeting with her new band Carmilla from Gävle has dragged on, but at the end of March they were able to perform their first concert together.
The idea was to go home and continue the cooperation at a distance, but the situation with the war in Ukraine means that Alena will remain in Gävle.
Anyone who spreads "fake" news about Russia risks 15 years in prison, so Alena speaks cautiously about the war.
Hear Alena tell in the clip above.
