Ukrainian Eurovision winner Jamala has said 2023’s song contest should be held in the UK if her home country is unable to host. The singer, 38, who won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2016 with her tune 1944, fled Kyiv in March following the Russian invasion. Ukrainian band Kalush Orchestra went on to win this year’s contest in Turin, but the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) said it was in talks with the BBC to ‘potentially host’ the 2023 event after concluding next year’s contest cannot be held in Ukraine . ‘It’s really sad the EBU decided to take away all this chance and all this hope,’ Jamala told the PA news agency. ‘[But] I really understand that it has to be in a peaceful place for participants and for everybody. ‘Great Britain came second in the competition, so if Ukraine is unwilling to host the event for whatever reason, it would be fair to hold it in one of your cities.’ Jamala said she considers the decision on where to host the competition to … [Read more...] about UK ‘fair’ option to host Eurovision if not Ukraine, says former Ukrainian winner Jamala

It had been Ukraine's last bastion in the eastern province of Luhansk and the subject of fierce fighting in recent days. "The continuation of the defence of the city would lead to fatal consequences," Ukraine's military said on Sunday.
