Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky vowed to host next year’s Eurovision Song Contest after his country's triumph in Italy.
The victory gave the war-torn nation a vital morale boost and its hero leader has suggested the contest could be held one in the besieged city of Mariupol.
He posted on Facebook : "Our courage impresses the world, our music conquers Europe! Next year Ukraine will host Eurovision! For the third time in its history. And I believe - not for the last time."
