“I love Ukraine. I love the people there and it hurts to see what’s going on”

The winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 Loreen expressed her support for Ukraine. Answering a journalist’s question whether Ukraine should have the opportunity to hold a contest at home when the war ends, Loreen said, “Absolutely, why shouldn’t they?” “I love Ukraine. I’ve been to Ukraine a lot. I had a lot of shows. I love the people there and it hurts to see what’s going on. And I’m sorry for that,” she added.

This year the Eurovision was held in Liverpool, the UK, on behalf of Ukraine. Despite the fact that Ukraine won in 2022, the country could not accept the contest because of the Russian brutal war.
