Although Ukraine won this year's Eurovision Song Contest, the UK could host next year's competition on its behalf.
It hosted for the Netherlands in 1960, for France in 1963, for Monaco in 1972; and Luxembourg in 1974.Harrogate, Brighton, Edinburgh and London have also been host cities.The EBU saidit had conducted the study with Ukrainian state broadcaster UA:PBC and external specialists, amid the conflict, but that the "security and operational guarantees" required to host the event cannot be fulfilled in the war-torn country.
"It is our full intention that Ukraine's win will be reflected in next year's shows. This will be a priority for us in our discussions with the eventual hosts."The UK won the jury vote before Ukraine stormed into the lead following huge public support "If the EBU decides the competition can't go ahead in Ukraine, we would of course welcome the opportunity to work closely with Ukraine and the BBC to host it here in the UK."
"However, I can think of a perfect venue on banks of the River Clyde!" she added, apparently suggesting the 14,300-capacity riverside OVO Hydro arena in Glasgow as a venue.: "Not the circumstances that anyone would want given the war in Ukraine. But if it's to be a UK city - I can't think of anywhere better, a great music city and fittingly home to a large Ukrainian community.
