The russian broadcasters left the Eurovision Broadcasting Union and participation in the Eurovision Song Contest is open to all EBU members. So it’s not a thing of “why is Russia still banned”, but Russia left the European Television Network in order to do whatever they are doing. ESC is only a small part of that.
