A possible strange benefit coming out of this Russian invasion - if enough countries pull out of the Eurovision Song Contest, perhaps they will cancel it.  
Countries are pulling out because it costs too much, and the more that pull out, the more the remainder will have to pay.

And looking at the BBC live news the sabre rattling has commenced- both sides blaming each other and Zelenskyy straight in egging on NATO

“ “This is a Russian missile attack on collective security,” he said. “This is a very significant escalation. We must act.””

I genuinely don’t like what Russia is doing / has done and support what help we are giving but more and more I feel Zelenskyy is manipulating the West any which way. Understandable I guess.

Tbf if I were him I would be doing everything I could to make the west kept a supply of weapons and intelligence coming my way
