It's rare in the Eurovision Song Contest's history that a song is a clear favorite weeks before the grand final. The fact that Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra is participating is more than a musical contribution.
Ukraine's entry, Kalush Orchestra's "Stefania," combines traditional folk sounds with modern hip-hop. Sentimental and upbeat at the same time, the song has become an anthem for the war-torn nation and will likely win the contest.
A new €2 coin featuring a design by a Ukrainian refugee studying at the Estonian Academy of Arts (EKA) will enter into circulation at the end of the year. Money from collectible sales will be donated to Ukraine.
