Changing course, Eurovision organizers say no Russian act will compete this year

The Eurovision Song Contest was held in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv in 2017. Russia has been excluded from the 2022 edition following its invasion of Ukraine.

Organizers cited concerns that "the inclusion of a Russian entry in this year's Contest would bring the competition into disrepute" in light of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
