On, Sunday, May, 15, Ukraine’s Kalush Orchestra won the 66th edition of Eurovision Song Contest that took place in Turin, Italy.

The Eurovision Song Contest organisers spoke on the support given to Ukraine stating: We understand the deep feelings around Ukraine at the moment and believe that the statements of the Kalush Orchestra and other performers expressing support for the Ukrainian people are of a humanitarian, not political nature.

Ukraine’s President Zelensky made an appeal ahead of the final stating: “Very soon in the Eurovision final, the continent and the whole world will hear our native word.I believe that, in the end, this word will be “Victory”! Europe, vote for Kalush Orchestra – № 12!,”
