Svitlana Tarabarova, Music Producer for the Ukrainian pre-selection for Junior Eurovision 2023, had the following to say:

“This was probably the hardest task – picking just 10 out of 143 contestants. Only one will win, but I have to publicly admit they are all adorable . I ask only one thing of each participant: that they not stop no matter what. This is just the beginning of the journey . Your voice is important. You are our future . You are the children of Victory!”
