“Congratulations to Kalush Orchestra for winning Eurovision from the heart of Mariupol”.
To accompany this message published on the Twitter account @Kozatsky_D, a song.
That of a Ukrainian fighter entrenched in the Azovstal factory, in Mariupol, who takes over from Capella "Stefania", the victorious song at Eurovision 2022. A very moving moment, covered by the sound of Russian bombings at the outside.
Party favorite, the performance of Kalush Orchestra was given a standing ovation during this edition of Eurovision in Turin and the group won the victory thanks to the votes of the public.
A strong symbol of Europe's support for the Ukrainian people.
“Please help Mariupol, help Azovstal”
At the end of their performance at Eurovision, the leader of the Ukrainian group called for help to his country and in particular the city of Mariupol: “Please help Mariupol, help Azovstal, immediately”.
Kalush Orchestra has just unveiled the powerful music video for “Stefania”, shot in war-ravaged Ukrainian cities, such as Irpin and Boutcha.
The group hopes to make this song the anthem of Ukraine's victory over Russia.
Besieged by Russian troops, the Azovstal factory is the last pocket of Ukrainian resistance in Mariupol.
She continues to be targeted by the Russian army.
Ukrainian officials say white phosphorus bombs rained down on the steelworks on May 15.
While around 700 fighters would still be entrenched in it.
