“Eurovision today is a critical tool for direct interaction with hundreds of millions of Europeans. For Ukraine, participation in the competition is primarily about subjectivity, the protection of cultural sovereignty and the opportunity to keep the Ukrainian context in the focus of world attention until the very end. At the same time, the format of the National Selection will be changed and developed taking into account security risks and possible challenges of the winter period.”

Oksana Skybinska, Ukrainian Head of Delegation, had the following to say:

“Only by remaining active participants in the European space, we bring our messages to the world, encourage cooperation and support. Thus, we make our musical contribution to the song diversity of Europe, demonstrate our own artistic identity. From at least March to May, the music world discusses applications and songs from participating countries. This is the platform where the voice of Ukraine should be heard.”
