After Eurovision , Prikhodko ended her professional partnership with Meladze in 2010 . She subsequently began working with producer Igor Goncharenko that May , and has also worked with her elder brother Nazar . Later that year , she entered the Ukrainian national final for the Eurovision Song Contest 2011 . Her entry was " Action " , a techno song sung in English , a large departure from the previous folk rock music she had become known for . Prikhodko advanced from the fourth heat on 14 November 2010 as one of the three jury qualifiers . After advancing from the second semi-final on 12 December 2010 as well , she placed eighth in the final on 26 February 2011 . Prikhodko 's debut studio album '' Zazhdalas '' was released the following year . Following the beginning of Euromaidan in 2014 , and the subsequent pro-Russian unrest in Ukraine , Russian military intervention , and Russian annexation of Crimea , Prikhodko became an outspoken advocate of Ukrainian sovereignty and support towards Ukrainian liberation from Russian influence . During Euromaidan , Prikhodko performed at Maidan Nezalezhnosti and spoke in favor of European integration of Ukraine . In July 2014 , Prikhodko went on tour with other Ukrainian musicians to support the Ukrainian Ground Forces during the War in Donbass . While on tour , Prikhodko posted on her Twitter account that Russians were " puppets " , " narrow-minded " , and " deaf " . The following month , Prikhodko accused Russia of illegally occupying Ukrainian territory , and vowed to never perform another concert in Russia . Later in August , Prikhodko was profiled in the program '' 17 Friends of the Junta '' on Russian television channel NTV , which targeted critics of Russia 's actions in Ukraine ; the program was seen as a smear campaign . It depicted Prikhodko as an anti-Russian rebel , and included an interview with her estranged paternal grandmother who described her as a shame to the family , and Russian singer Joseph Kobzon stating that her Eurovision performance was disgraceful and that Prikhodko was a " street girl who swears like a prostitute " . Prikhodko denounced the program , referring to it as " laughable " . In 2015 , Prikhodko revealed that refusing to perform concerts in Russia had been a major financial burden on her , as that was where a majority of her live performances were taking place and a large source of her income
