What a cheap globalist propaganda became Eurovision.All media,art,politics even commercials are infected with this criminal globalism.We shall see,soon,if humanity resist or desapear.

CNN journalism standards at it's finest, as always

пішли нахуй, CNN

'sympathy for the nation '?what a shame

Dear take away this war and this victory for yourself.

Вибачте CNN, що ми всі не померли в лютому і вам доводиться мучатись та писати такі заголовки до новин, біднятка.

political right everywhere~

Strong soy-energies are flowing from that picture 🤣 and what about the pink foreskin that creature is wearing on his head? Lol

kwnikos35 Hurrah! Hooray!,Poutin

Love Russia from Pakistan

To be honest, I very much liked this song. So voted. 🇬🇧🇺🇦

Hui budesh?

Kalush Orchestra won because of the meaningful song and outstanding performance. Millions of people sent votes willingly. If some of you guys are so unhappy with the results, why didn't you vote for your fave performance so that someone else wins?

Maybe, under the guise of democracy and freedom,Dirty interference in other countries' internal affairs, depending on the safety and disregard of citizens of other countries, may be the American democracy advocated by the United States.

this comic Fiesta, is not a Song Contest, but a ridiculously staged Propaganda!

Music has been politicized, congratulations ukrainian

It wasn't because of sympathy. They won on their talents. They were up and coming before this bloody Russian anti Ukrainian WAR!

Congratulation to you all the Ukrainian winners

Congratulation to you all winners,bravo!!bless

I am happy for them but really they won? Begs to question if they won for song or won because they are Ukrainians!

just to mention, Ukraine singers have always been among favorites of the jury and the audience. the only difference is that this year’s Eurovision was the most meaningful of all time.

aren't you ashamed? are you used to how russian money stinks?

That's not fair. Many others did much better! And each of them gave the best to win! Solidarity with Ukraine should have limits concerning Art, Music and Sports....

If the Ukraine wasn't being attacked we would have won.

That's awesome! Congrats to them. How can Putin De Nazify? Ukrainians are all over the world getting recognition, respect and hailed as Brave Heroes. Evil Putin and his family are exposed. He already lost when he started to Bully Ukraine. Russia needs a new president.

TarekFatah This is all staged, in an attempt to gain worldwide attention to a WAR started by the WEST, bcoz they could not stand Russia as a 'big power' outside of WEST.

They earned their win .

O Ocidente rifa a Ucrânia e agora oferece paliativo para abafar a dor dos ucranianos. Hipócritas.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 who would've guessed?

Using the word sympathy massively downplays their talent and a song that people loved. Do better.

Affirmative Action Victory

Keep the Dream Alive

It's a competition to promote peace and unity, they won the Televote and UK won the Jury vote. Did the sympathy increase the odds, of course. But that doesn't take away that their song was great regardless

So next year we do it in Kiev? Wait what?

I don't think anyone is shocked. They could have participated with a guy humming for 10 minutes and won.
