This decision was made taking into account the report of the executive producers of the Eurovision-2017 Oleksandr Kharebin and Viktoria Romanova on the state of preparations for the competition. Therefore, in the future there can be no speculation regarding the host city of Eurovision-2017.

During the EBU GA, the Ukrainian delegation presented an ESC2017 team and reported on the work done in preparation for the contest, also announcing the budget of UAH 655.7 million.

Of this sum, UAH 455.7 million is laid out in a draft state budget of Ukraine, while another UAH 200 million will be allocated by the host city, Kyiv.
