"But there is nothing to say here! I don't understand those who discuss this topic. Undoubtedly, Ukraine should participate, especially in these times. We won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2022! The British city of Liverpool hosts us for this contest," - Topolya shared with "Facts". 

The artist also reminded that Ukraine won the competition in 2022 for a reason and noted that although the competition is in Great Britain, it will be held on behalf of Ukrainians.
