Ukraine should get a chance to host the Eurovision Song Contest in 2023, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said today.

Speaking to reporters after returning from Kiev, Johnson said that the streets there were lively and that Ukrainians were "confident", reports the BBC.

As the winners of the competition in May, Ukraine should normally host the event, but the organizers announced yesterday that they think there are no security conditions for such a thing.

Organizers are discussing the event in Great Britain, which won second place.

Ukrainian rap-folk band Kalush Orkestar, which received special permission to leave the country to compete, won first place with 631 points in a symbolic show of public support after the Russian invasion.

Despite winning the judges' vote at the Turin event, Sam Ryder was second, the best result for Great Britain since 1998.

"The Ukrainians won fairly, even though we had a great start, and they should be given the opportunity to host. One more year. Everything will be fine until the Eurovision Song Contest," Johnson said.
