Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra is currently the clear favourite to win Eurovision 2022, hosted in Italy, after reaching the final.
Ukrainian forces are still trying to repel invading Russian forces, while thousands of innocent people have been killed and millions have been forced to flee their homes, running from Russian tanks and bombs that have pounded cities.
Eurovision, a celebration of culture and the vibrant lives of people in different parts of the world, may take on an added importance for Ukraine as the country struggles in a fight for its own survival and the respect of its identity.
Russian leader Vladimir Putin is known to not consider Ukraine a legitimate independent state, but just another part of Russia. As such, bombs have rained down on all sorts of important cultural places in Ukraine, including Holocaust memorial sites.
The war has brought some incredible stories to the attention of people across the world and one such story is that of this year's Ukrainian entry.
So who is the Ukraine Eurovision entry?
Who is Ukraine's Eurovision entry Kalush Orchestra?
This year's Ukrainian Eurovision entry is Kalush Orchestra, a rap group allowed to compete despite orders for men their age to fight.
They weren't the country's first choice, coming only second in a national competition to decide who would represent them. The winner, Alina Pash, withdrew after a trip to the annexed region of Crimea in 2015 came to light.
Some members of the group are reported to have been on the front lines, before being allowed to leave to compete.
They are made up of rapper Oleh Psiuk, Ihor Didenchuk, dancer Vlad Kurochka, and singers Tymofii Muzychuk and Oleksandr Slobodianyk.
Vitalii Duzhyk plays the traditional Ukrainian flute instrument known as the 'spolika'. The band has previously revealed that one band member dropped out in order to stay and fight for Ukraine.
Psiuk, who is part of a volunteer group giving medical supplies to refugees, said: "I cannot enjoy it while I am worried for my loved ones. The war separated me and my girlfriend. She is 300km (186 miles) away from me. We cannot meet because it is very dangerous."
What is Ukraine's Eurovision song about?
Kalush Orchestra's Eurovision song Stefania is about Oleh's mum and the song also contains some deeper meanings. Not written about the war itself, the song has become more significant since the war in Ukraine broke out.
One line reads: "I‘ll always find my way home, even if all roads are destroyed."
The band said: "We’re showing off our roots, and we’re showing how to take something from the past and make it work for the present.
"That’s why we’ve found success at home, and we hope that we can find that sort of reception internationally, as well. We take something old, and we make it sound modern."
The final will be on May 10 at 8pm and will be available to watch live on BBC One and stream on BBC iPlayer
