Something creepy about that ‘Glory to Ukraine’ that even our own newscasters keep saying. My opinion… Sgt Pat
Ukraine won the Eurovision song contest 2022 with their song mixing rap with elements of Ukrainian folk music. A tidal wave of public support saw Ukraine’s entry, Kalush Orchestra, move from eighth place after the juror votes to first place, as they were awarded a staggering 492 points. Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, welcomed the victory, and said ‘we will do our best’ to one day host the contest in the port city of Mariupol. Zelenskiy and Kalush Orchestra said any victory was meaningful for Ukraine at this time. The UK also had an exciting night, as Sam Ryder had a considerable lead at the halfway point and placed second overall with his song Space Man. This is the highest the UK have ranked since 1998 Ukraine wins 2022 Eurovision song contest as UK finishes second in Turin
