The Venice Biennale is at risk of losing a substantial €2 million in funding from the European Union if its organizers proceed with any plans involving Russia. The European Commission has issued a clear warning, stating that such involvement would be considered a direct breach of ethical standards and a violation of the existing contractual agreement. This would lead to the immediate suspension of the allocated €2 million grant for the prestigious arts festival.
