Ukraine should be given the chance to host the Eurovision Song Contest in 2023, the UK prime minister has said.

The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) that organises Eurovision said it on Friday that, following a "full assessment and feasibility study", they had come to the conclusion that it would not be possible to hold the 2023 contest in Ukraine.

"As a result of this decision, in accordance with the rules and to ensure the continuity of the event, the EBU will now begin discussions with the BBC, as this year's runner-up, to potentially host the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest in the United Kingdom," the EBU statement read.

Ukrainian Culture Minister Oleksandr Tkachenko said "we will be demanding to change the decision".
