KIEV (Reuters) - A Crimean Tatar who sings about Joseph Stalin's deportation of hundreds of thousands of people from her Black Sea homeland will represent Ukraine at the Eurovision song contest, two years after Russia annexed the territory.

Jamala, a 32-year-old singer, won a domestic competition on Sunday night to represent her country.
