Deltenre noted that sanctions could be introduced against Ukraine. According to the head of the EBU, “Ukraine’s behavior is absolutely unacceptable.”
Deltentre said that she is currently negotiating with Prime Minister Groysman and President Poroshenko to find a “peaceful solution”, since only they “can lift the ban on Yulia Samoilova from entering Ukraine” or make sure that this ban comes into effect into force only after the performance of the Russian singer in Kyiv.
