Ukraine wins Eurovision Song Contest with performance by Kalush Orchestra as Zelenskyy vows to host show next year

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hailed Ukraine's victory, telling the world in his nightly address:"Our courage impresses the world, our music conquers Europe!"Glory to Ukraine!"Ukraine had been widely tipped to take the title and on the night there had been a huge cross-European swell of support for the war-torn country. Almost all entrants sported Ukrainian flags as well as their own.

After their performance, they made an impassioned plea to free people still trapped in the besieged Mariupol steel mill.Winners ready to return home and fight"We have a temporary authorisation to be here and it ends in two days and exactly in two days we are going to be back in Ukraine. "It's hard to say what exactly I am going to do, because this is the first time I win the Eurovision Song Contest, but like every Ukrainian, we are ready to fight as much as we can and go on until the end."Hundreds of millions across Europe tuned in for one of the world's most-watched TV events, with a song about Meghan Markle and a track called Give That Wolf A Banana among the 25 finalists.

Is all of Ukraine being Bombed then ?

This is to get round the criticism on social media last night when everyone put up the latest war maps to clearly show that the majority of the country is not at war only Eastern border so this was sympathy publicly stunt. Worked through, fair play and I know other replies 😏
