Eurovision 2023 will not be held in Ukraine due security issues caused by Russia’s invasion, the European Broadcasting Union said Friday.

“Given the ongoing war since the Russian invasion of this year’s winning country, the EBU has taken the time to conduct a full assessment and feasibility study with both UA:PBC (Ukraine’s public broadcasting service) and third-party specialists including on safety and security issues,” the EBU said in a statement.

The organizer of the Eurovision Song Contest said Friday that it will start talks with the BBC on possibly holding next year’s event in the U.K. after concluding that it can’t be held in Ukraine. Kyiv said it disagreed with the decision and called for “additional negotiations.”

The event is traditionally staged by the previous year’s winner. Last month, Ukrainian band Kalush Orchestra won the 2022 contest with the song “Stefania”, pushing Britain into the runner-up spot thanks to a surge of popular votes from viewers.
