“The Eurovision Song Contest is a non-political cultural event,” the show’s organizers said in a statement to “The EBU is however concerned about current events in Ukraine and will continue to closely monitor the situation.” The announcement comes after Ukraine’s national public broadcaster, UA:PBC, requested Russia be removed from the contest.
