Liverpool’s bid for Eurovision has been given major backing by its twin city in Ukraine.
In just a few days time, the city will find out if it has beaten off competition from locations across the country to host the continent-wide song contest in 2023. As conflict continues in Ukraine, the UK is stepping into the breach to stage next year’s event.
Ahead of the decision being made in the coming weeks, Liverpool’s push has been boosted by the Mayor of its twin city, Odessa, Gennadiy Trukhanov. In a video, Mr Trukhanov sent best wishes from the south-western port city.
