"In light of the unprecedented crisis in Ukraine, the inclusion of a Russian entry would bring the competition into disrepute."

No Russian act will be allowed to participate in this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, it has been announced.

Organisers said that “in light of the unprecedented crisis in Ukraine, the inclusion of a Russian entry would bring the competition into disrepute.”

Earlier today Iceland and Estonia joined the Netherlands in calling for Russia to be excluded from this year’s competition over its invasion of Ukraine.

The competition had indicated it plans to allow Russia to compete in Turin in May, describing itself as a “non-political cultural event”.

They have since reversed the decision in light of recent events.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
