Ukrainian Eurovision winners Kalush Orchestra have said they are “grateful” to the UK for showing solidarity with Ukraine and for hosting the event next year on their country’s behalf.
The folk-rap group won this year’s song contest in Turin, Italy, which would traditionally mean their home country would host the event the following year.
However, bosses at the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) previously decided the contest could not be held in the war-torn country following the Russian invasion.
