On 29 October 2021, BIE confirmed five bids for the Expo 2030:[9] Russia had proposed a bid for Moscow, but withdrew in May 2022 following its military invasion of Ukraine.[10] Ukraine had proposed a bid for Odesa, but was excluded in June 2023 due to the Russian invasion of the country, leaving three bids left in the running.
