This was announced on May 6 by Dmitry Polyansky, Russia's first deputy Permanent Representative to the World Organization.

"The concert of the Turkish Choir in the hall of the UN General Assembly was sold out — so many people came that many simply could not get into the hall, which holds 1,800 seats. <...> And this is despite active attempts to disrupt the concert made by the Ukrainians and their European sponsors," Polyansky said in a Telegram message.

He clarified that on the eve of the event, Ukrainians "circulated a note to the UN" urging them to ignore and not attend the concert, but it did not work.
