UKRAINE - President Zelenskyy has vowed to hold Eurovision in Mariupol next year after an outpouring of support from the European public propelled Ukraine to victory - as Britain’s Sam Ryder earned a shock second place.
Britain surprisingly topped the jury vote and led for most of the night before Ukraine were awarded a mammoth 439 points in the public vote.
The war-torn nation ended on 631 points, while the UK finished second with 466 points.
Spain finished third with 459 with Sweden fourth on 438.
Zelenskyy was quick to hail the victory - and even vowed to hold next year’s competition in Mariupol, despite the city being besieged by Russian forces.
He said: ‘‘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 the last. We will do our best to one day host the participants and guests of Eurovision in Ukrainian Mariupol. Free, peaceful, rebuilt.
‘I thank the Kalush Orchestra for this victory and everyone who gave us your votes. I am sure that the sound of victory in the battle with the enemy is not far off. Glory to Ukraine.’’
