The Ukrainian band Kalush Orchestra won the Eurovision song contest, held this year in Turin, Italy. The initial vote by judges from forty countries placed the Ukrainians fourth, but the audience, voting in those countries, moved them up into first place, followed by the United Kingdom and Spain.
This reflects the widespread support of Ukraine as it continues to respond to the unprovoked invasion by the Russian Federation.
