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.
