Boris Johnson says Ukraine deserves to host next year's Eurovision contest

Boris Johnson has expressed hope that Ukraine will get to host the Eurovision Song Contest next year, despite the organisers of the contest ruling out the possibility of such.

The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) - which organises the contest each year - recently stated that it "cannot be held" in Ukraine next year, after assessing this possibility.

Ukraine won this year's contest with its act Kalush Orchestra but organisers said that it won't be able to host the show in 2023, in light of the invasion of the country by Russia.
