Eurovision Favourites Ukraine Make It To The Final In Italy


Eurovision favourites Ukraine are through to the Grand Final of the competition after a tense semi in Turin last night.

The country's folk-rap group Kalush Orchestra delivered an energetic performance of their song Stefania - despite not being able to meet to rehearse until just six weeks ago.

"Thank you for supporting Ukraine," said founder member Oleh Psiuk as they finished their performance.

Although front runners in the competition, the band were clear that the war at home isn't the only reason for their success.

"Even before the war, we were in fifth position according to bookmakers," they said in a press conference last week, "which means this Ukrainian song is already enjoyed by Europeans."

Russia has been banned from competing.

Norway, Moldova and the Netherlands were also among the 10 countries voted through to Saturday's showpiece.
