Ukrainian band wins 2022 Eurovision contest amid Russian invasion (Globalnews.ca)
Ukrainian band Kalush Orchestra won the Eurovision Song Contest, a clear show of popular support for the group's war-ravaged nation that went beyond music.
“On the fifth or fourth day of the war, they shot our TV tower in Kyiv,” he said. “Like every Ukrainian, I am ready to fight and go until the end.” One of the original members stayed to fight, and the others will be back in Ukraine in two days, when their temporary exit permit expires. “Oh, this victory brings so much hope.” And war or not, fans from Spain, Britain and elsewhere entering the PalaOlimpico venue from throughout Europe were rooting for their own country to win. This is extremely nice,” said Julia Vashenko, a 29-year-old teacher. Ukraine was able to participate in the music contest “thanks to the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the resistance of our people,” he said. The 439 fan votes is the highest number of televote points ever received in a Eurovision contest, now in its 66th year. Kalush Orchestra itself is a cultural project that includes folklore experts and mixes traditional folk melodies and contemporary hip hop in a purposeful defense of Ukrainian culture. Glory to Ukraine!” The public vote from home, via text message or the Eurovision app, proved decisive, lifting them above British TikTok star Sam Ryder, who led after the national juries in 40 countries cast their votes. “I believe that wherever there is Ukraine now and there is an opportunity to talk about the war, we need to talk,” said Alexandra Konovalova, a 23-year-old make-up artist in Kharkiv. “Any competitions are important now, because of them more people learn about what is happening now.”

The video is dedicated to “the brave Ukrainian people,” the “mothers protecting children” and to “those who gave their lives to our freedom,” it says. The weapons: Ukraine is making use of weapons such as Javelin antitank missiles and Switchblade “kamikaze” drones, provided by the United States and other allies. The members of Kalush Orchestra received special permission to travel to Italy for Eurovision, even though Ukraine has banned most men between 18 and 60 from leaving the country in case they are called to fight. The children are reunited with their families in refugee centers and train stations, as the service members — all women — stare into the camera, some of them in tears. “It is impossible to hold back tears.” On Sunday, the band released a music video for “Stefania,” the song that helped secure its first-place Eurovision finish, that was filmed in war-torn areas of Ukraine. “The world needs to see it!” the message said. “This video was filmed in Bucha, Irpin, Borodyanka, Hostomel, cities near Kyiv that suffered the horrors of Russian occupation,” it reads. It is the latest example of Ukraine’s use of cultural diplomacy amid its conflict with Russia. “I ask for all of you, please help Ukraine, Mariupol. Help Azovstal right now,” Psiuk said after the band performed at the grand finale. This is how Ukraine’s Eurovision presenter and commentator Timur Miroshnychenko reacted to the news of Kalush Orchestra’s victory. Next year, Ukraine is expected to host the competition, an occasion that Zelensky said he believes will not be the last.
