The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has stated it will no be backing down on its decision to move the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 from Ukraine, despite the country expressing its disappointment.
Ukraine were hoping they would be hosting the event next year after Kalush Orchestra beat UK"s Sam Ryder to winning the competition after they won most of the public vote.
The EBU has now responded to Ukraine's disappointment, which included criticism from the country's Minister of Culture and the head of its state broadcaster.
