[–] itslilith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 3 months ago (1 child) That is not true, they retroactively changed the narrative why Russia was kicked off. Originally it was about the war. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdfX4_NDNXY permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 3 months ago I've looked at a couple of sources online. Originally Russian broadcasters were only suspended from Eurovision that year because many other members refused to participate. A month or so later, the suspension of Russian broadcasters from the EBU was announced for the reasons I named above. But I think one important correction could be made to what I said: It is possible to suspend members from Eurovision for stability reasons. Israel would presumably not be able to be suspended from the EBU entirely like Russia and Belarus were - after all Turkey and Egypt are still members - but a suspension from Eurovision for the same reason as Russia is plausible if enough members refused to participate. permalink fedilink source parent
