However, when asked about President Volodymyr Zelensky’s claim that Eurovision will be hosted in Ukraine, Kalush Orchestra star Oleh Psiuk said: ‘If the President said it’s going to happen, it’s going to happen. ‘We’ll host Eurovision in a newly rebuilt and happy Ukraine. ’The star added in a live stream after the contest that the win ‘means a lot’ to the group, especially considering that they can ‘bring some good news to Ukraine’. ‘Our culture is under attack and we’re trying to present our culture to the world and everyone, present our music that is unique, that is authentic, and it has a unique signature,’ the singer added.
Kalush were fighting on the frontlines in the war but received special permission to leave to participate in this year’s Eurovision.
