It became known earlier that the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine, Vyacheslav Kirilenko, said that the Ukrainian side should refuse to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest because of Russia.

Later, Kirilenko, in his Twitter account, expressed the opinion that the national selection for the Eurovision international music contest, which will be held in Israel, is "part of the hybrid war of Russia" that Moscow allegedly leads against Kiev.
