Zelensky's Eurovision Ban Sparks Controversy Among European Broadcasters.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has been barred from making an address during the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest on Saturday by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), which runs the contest, on the grounds that it would politicize the event. The EBU stated that the non-political nature of the event prohibits the possibility of making political or similar statements as part of the contest. This year’s Eurovision, which is being held in the British city of Liverpool, is set to be a joint effort between Ukraine and the U.K. following Ukraine’s win last year.
