Ukraine, suffering from the ongoing attacks by Russia, has confirmed its renewed participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna.

At the Eurovision Song Contest in Vienna, which will take place for the 70th time next year, the country will raise the Ukrainian voice "louder than ever," stated the Ukrainian delegation leader Oksana Skybinska on Monday.

Ukraine Confirms Participation Plans for the Eurovision Song Contest 2026 in Vienna

The Ukrainian participants aim to demonstrate the high level of creativity that has emerged under the hardships of war at the Vienna ESC with the Grand Final on May 16, 2026, Skybinska explained. Who will represent Ukraine in the world's most watched music competition will be determined in a national selection. Ukraine was able to win the ESC final in 2022 with their band Kalush Orchestra and the song "Stefania" just a few weeks after the start of the Russian war of aggression. Russia has been excluded from the world's most watched music competition since the war. In the three following finals, the Ukrainian entrants also managed to reach the top ten each time.
