The Associated PressKalush Orchestra from Ukraine appear on stage after winning the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest in Turin, Italy.The six-member band that mixes traditional folk melodies and contemporary hip hop in a purposeful defence of Ukrainian culture was the sentimental and bookmakers' favourite among the 25 bands and performers competing in the grand finale. The public vote from home was decisive in securing their victory.
Oleg Psiuk, the band's frontman, took advantage of the enormous global audience to make impassioned plea to free fighters still trapped beneath a sprawling steel plant in the southern port city of Mariupol following the band's performance. "I ask all of you, please help Ukraine, Mariupol. Help Azovstal, right now," Psiuk said to the live crowd of some 7,500, many of whom gave a standing ovation, and global television audience of millions.
Glory to Ukraine! My people, you did so well, you are wonderful. You are heroes. You are unbreakable!!!! We will win the war. We pray for peace!!!
