“I am glad that Ukrainian rap with ethnic motives will finally be heard in Britain. We hope that we will touch the strings of the soul of every Englishman. And let's start a new annual tradition of performances by top Ukrainian bands at Glastonbury. This is a very cool opportunity for us to declare Ukraine even louder, draw even more attention to the war, find even more support from Europeans, and finally repeat that “Eurovision – 2023” will be in Ukraine, “- quotes” NV “band leader Oleg Psyuk .
It will be recalled that Kalush Orchesta at the end of its Eurovision final called to help Ukraine and save Azovstal . As a result, there were fears that the band could be disqualified, as political slogans are banned at Eurovision. At the same time, the European Language Union stated that it considers calls for peace and assistance to Ukraine to be humanitarian, not political.
Kalush Orchesta received 631 points, with 439 points given by the audience.
