“As for me, the Eurovision organizing committee should adopt the experience of UEFA, and deprive Ukraine of the opportunity to evaluate the performances of the participants from the aggressor country, and Russia - to evaluate the participant from Ukraine,” he wrote in a column for OBOZREVATEL.

According to a member of the Ukrainian jury, it is "immoral" for Ukraine to evaluate Russia.

“For me personally, the aggressor is always in last place, regardless of the sport!
