Next year's Eurovision Song Contest will be staged in Britain, organizers announced Monday, after concluding it is too risky to hold the much-beloved pop extravaganza in the designated host country, Ukraine.

Ukraine won the right to host the glitzy pan-continental music competition when its entry, the folk-rap ensemble Kalush Orchestra, won this year's contest in May. Britain's Sam Ryder came in second.

The fate of the 2023 contest had featured in talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. "As we are now hosts, the U.K. will honor that pledge directly -- and put on a fantastic contest on behalf of our Ukrainian friends," Johnson said.
