The motion

That this House recognises the winner of the 2022 Eurovision was Ukraine; deplores the Russian aggression that has led to a situation where Ukraine’s capacity to hold the contest has been put into question; notes that as runners up, the United Kingdom are possible hosts should Ukraine be unable to host the contest; further notes that Edinburgh is one of Kyiv’s twin cities; and calls on the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to work with the BBC to explore the potential for Edinburgh to host the 2023 contest in solidarity with the Ukrainian people.
