Eurovision 2023 Will Be Held in the United Kingdom on Behalf of Ukraine

The Eurovision Song Contest 2023 will be held in the United Kingdom on behalf of Ukraine, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and the BBC confirmed.

Ukraine won Eurovision 2022, but, according to the EBU, it is too dangerous to hold the contest in a country where there is a war.

"As we are now hosts, the UK will honour that pledge directly – and put on a fantastic contest on behalf of our Ukrainian friends," Boris Johnson wrote on Twitter on July 25.
