So Ukraine won Eurovision just now. I wonder how Russia will respond.

Probably claim that every country which gave points to Ukraine is full of Nazis.

Yes, something like that.

To be fair when I found out Ukraine were participating didn't even need to watch to know the outcome.

The preview I saw of all the songs they were all underwhelming though. Maybe I am getting harsher at my older age lol.

On one hand I like that Ukraine won because it’s a nice gesture, but on the other it is just that, a gesture, and they really only won because of this war which is kind of unfair. I imagine this would give the artists a double feeling as well.

For what it’s worth Ukraine was fourth in jury points, but had a landslide victory in televotes. Of-topic but yeah the quality was quite mediocre this year.

I read that president Zelenskyy would like to see the contest be hosted in Mariupol next year. Here’s hoping they can!
