Veel minder belangrijk, maar het vermelden waard, de organisatoren van Eurovision dreigen met sancties tegen Oekraïne omdat ze het festival politiciseren, onder andere door de Russische kandidaat niet toe te laten.

Het regime is duidelijk van plan om er een politieke propagandashow van te maken, dat is nooit de bedoeling geweest van Eurovision song festival.
In the letter to Groysman, Deltenre warned that Ukraine could be excluded from future competitions if the Ukrainian authorities do not allow Samoylova into the country. In addition, the head of the EBU informed the Prime Minister that several participants are considering the possibility of withdrawing.
“No previous host country has prevented an artist from performing at the Eurovision Song Contest. The EBU would not like Ukraine to set a precedent in 2017. We consider the current ban of the Russian singer as unacceptable,” the letter states. According to the document, several countries have already approached the EBU, criticizing the Ukrainian decision and noting that they are considering withdrawing from the competition.
“We have not been made aware of any information that Julia Samoylova poses a security threat to Ukraine,” the letter points out.
