Russia suspended from participation in Eurovision 2022 due to attack on Ukraine

The organizers of the song contest "Eurovision" announced that Russia will not be able to participate in the contest this year. This decision was based on the rules of the event and the values of the EBU.

 

This was reported on the official website of the "Eurovision" contest. "No Russian group will participate in the contest this year," the statement said.

 

The decision was supported by the reference group, the EBU television committee.

 

"This decision reflects concern that in light of the unprecedented crisis in Ukraine, the inclusion of Russian work in this year's Contest will damage the reputation of the competition. Before taking this decision, the EBU consulted widely with its members," the report says.
