“Our music conquers Europe”. This was said by the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, after the victory of the Kalush Orchestra at Eurovision.

“Our courage impresses the world, our music conquers Europe! Next year Ukraine will host Eurovision! For the third time in its history. And I believe – not for the last time,” wrote Zelensky on Facebook.

“We will do everything – he added – to host Eurovision participants and guests in Mariupol Ukraine one day. Free, quiet, restored! Thanks for the victory of the Kalush Orchestra and to all those who voted for us!”.
