Alibasov said that he "absolutely does not care what the Ukrainian politicians say."

“If we talk about the competition, Ukraine’s refusal to participate will not affect Ukraine itself, or the competition. That huge number of music contests, which are now, do not give anyone anything. As a rule, none of the participants in these contests ever become a bright star, ”said the producer.

Earlier, Kirilenko said that the Ukrainian side should refuse to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest because of Russia.
