Liverpool's Ukrainian community would be "proud" to see the city host the Eurovision song contest in 2023.
The city is down to the final two in the race to host the show next year and is currently contending with Glasgow. A decision on which city will host the event is expected to be made in the coming days.
Ukrainian entry Kalush Orchestra triumphed at the 2022 competition in Turin, Italy, but the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which produces the annual event, decided the show cannot be safely held in the country following Russia's invasion.
