Ukraine to fight decision to stop it hosting next Eurovision

Ukraine on Friday condemned the European Broadcasting Union’s decision to strip it of the right to host next year’s Eurovision song contest on security grounds after Russia’s invasion.

“We will demand to change this decision, because we believe that we will be able to fulfill all the commitments… We demand additional negotiations on hosting Eurovision-2023 in Ukraine,” Ukrainian Culture Minister Oleksandr Tkachenko said in a statement.
