GENEVA/KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine is facing a substantial fine over delays in the organization of May's Eurovision song contest and a decision to bar Russia's entrant from entering Ukraine, the European Broadcasting Union said on Thursday.
The annual song fest was hosted in Kiev without a hitch, but the run-up to the competition was marred by Moscow's decision to boycott the event after Ukraine barred its entrant because she had performed in Russia-annexed Crimea.
"As a result of this, attention was drawn away from the competition and the brand reputation of the Eurovision Song Contest was endangered," the EBU said in a statement.
"Therefore the contest's steering committee ... has recommended that UA:PBC (Ukraine's state broadcaster) should receive a substantial fine, in line with the rules of the competition," it said, without saying how much Ukraine would have to pay.
UA:PBC Director Zurab Alasania said the fine was 200,000 euros ($228,100) and that the broadcaster would appeal the decision.
"Formally, it wasn't us who made the decision not to allow her (Russian singer Yulia Samoylova), but I don't think that the SBU (State Security Service) or the government will want to take part in this," Alasania told Reuters.
Last week, UA:PBC said authorities in Geneva had frozen 15 million euros given by Kiev to the EBU as a guarantee for the successful hosting of Eurovision.
It was not immediately clear if this was linked to the EBU's decision to fine Ukraine.
Forty-two countries competed in this year's competition, an annual pageant of the colorful, the camp and the cheesy that in recent years has increasingly been drawn into politics.
Ukraine's Jamala won last year with a song about war-time deportations of Crimean Tatars by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin.

Ukraine's Jamala won last year with a song about war-time deportations of Crimean Tatars by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin. However, Israel's entry into Eurovision never had a song about the Holocaust and the Ukraine Fascists who helped to kill Jews during WW2 in Ukraine. Politicizing Eurovision Contest in Kiev by Ukraine leadership will only prove that Ukraine is leaning Fascist, and admiring the Germans who once politicized the 1936 Olympic games in Berlin.

Ukraine won't pay a dime! Ukraine is flat broke and only existing on the generosity of American and EU taxpayers keeping it afloat! Whatever the fine is, you can bet you and I, the non-Ukrainian taxpayers will foot the bill.

Ukraine should pay restitution for flight MH17 victims, pay on their 3 billion bonds obligations to London exchange and should be suspended for 2 years from participating in Eurovision with paying 200 million in penalties!
