In Liverpool, the British government “disappointed” that Zelensky was prevented from speaking during the ceremony

Like last year, the Eurovision Song Contest is marked by the current war in Ukraine. This Friday, the British government said it was “disappointed” that the organizers of the competition had decided to prevent Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky from speaking on Saturday during the final of the event in Liverpool. “The Prime Minister thinks it would have been okay for President Zelensky to speak during the event,” said a spokesman for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
