Eurovision: Russia can compete despite invasion of Ukraine

https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-60514388

Russia will be allowed to participate in this year's Eurovision Song Contest, despite launching a military assault on neighbouring Ukraine.

Organisers called the competition a "non-political cultural event" and said they were "currently planning" to host entrants from both Russia and Ukraine at the event this May.
