The place went to the runners-up, Kalush Orchestra, and a song called "Stefania". On 14 March the organisers confirmed that Ukraine would still be coming.
- 2022 The result
Kalush Orchestra finished their song and their frontman shouted an appeal from the stage: help Ukraine, help Mariupol, help the defenders of Azovstal. Political statements are against the rules. The EBU ruled that this one was humanitarian, not political.
- 2022 The result
"Stefania" was the first winner sung entirely in Ukrainian.
