The UK is hosting Eurovision on behalf of Ukraine and we are committed to hosting a competition that celebrates both the UK and Ukraine.
I have announced £10 million in support of a collaborative show celebrating music and how it unites people from around the world.
This funding will be used by Liverpool and the BBC to collaborate with the Ukrainian national broadcaster, and artists and performers from Ukraine, and for security and other operational aspects of the competition.
