For the thrid time in ESC history Ukraine could win the ESC. The band Kalush Orchestra received the highest votes from public voting

It has been in the discussion for months, that Ukraine is going to be mighty winner. And this prevision has become reality now. Thanks to the public votes, the guys from Kalush Orchestra could receive the highest number of points. The juries placed Ukraine in the Top 10. But it’s a great sign from the Europeans to show solidarity with the people from Ukraine and for a great group with a cool song.

Congratulations to Kalush Orchestra from Ukraine!

Without the current situation, the big question comes up, if Ukraine would have won as well? Of course with this show format there are connected a lot of emotions. Some countries only received very few points from the public like Australia, others very few points from the juries like Germany. It’s great to see that some of the countries, which did not shape up well in the past came so high like the UK and Spain. France, who came 2nd last year ended up on 24th place this year.
