Ukraine rockstar Julia Sanina says Eurovision is a chance to remind people about the war

Frontwoman of Ukrainian rock band The Hardkiss and Eurovision Song Contest host Julia Sanina welcomes CNBC's Tania Bryer inside the Liverpool arena. She discusses the plight of the Ukrainian people, why it's right that Russia is banned from the competition and her joy at meeting King Charles III and Queen Camilla.

Russia wasn’t just banned, they rejected the membership of EBU. EBU is what determines if a country is eligible to compete in the first place. As long as they are outside EBU they will not be able to compete.

good for these egoistic "russia" to quit itself before waiting for a foregone conclusion of ebu expelling "russia" out.
and no way rashist (commie+fascist) soviet 2.0 "russia" will ever rejoin without getting a veto from uk (and spain and other members especially nato members bordering 2 rashist "countries") if rashist still rule
(i said uk and spain because the other big5 france german and italy is kind of returning to chamberlain's appeasement, at least uk had learnt a costly WWII lesson themselves)
