First podium finish from the death spot since 2002! Congrats!!!

 

[Preuss]

I gave them one of my votes

Congrats on an AMAZING performance and a well-deserved podium!! EBU can never break Ukraine

I did think it was gonna score a bit better with the juries though

 

[MAD20]

Ukraine defeating the death slot in the running order is quite iconic. Congratulations!!!

 

[allenakaalan]

As an aside, in a repeat of 2021, Ukraine gave 24 out of 24 to the winner. Y'all got taste!

 

[HayashiM]

Robbed by the running order and the juries (as was everyone whose name wasn't Nemo). Congrats on a well deserved top 3

 

[Preuss]

How many points behind Croatia were they in the end?

 

[GermanBango]

The divas made Ukraine and Europe proud!

 

[AlekS]

our girls. You are THE divas and mothers who are mothering

2013 - #3
2024 - #3
Thank you, Malmö

Thank you Tanu for directing incredible staging. #2 curse is no more. Thank you Slovakia for giving us space to rehearse. Can't wait for you on Eurovision

I'm proud how our jury ended homophobia and gave the highest points to 2 non-binary performers. Televoters also gave 12 to Switzerland and 8 to Ireland

We are the only country that gave Switzerland 24 points
Just like in 2021 to Italy

They released the new song at midnight. We stan productive divas

They released the new song at midnight. We stan productive divas

Was this the other song they submitted to Vidbir? It wouldn't have been eligible, right?

 

[Preuss]

I absolutely dislike how a dumb flag or something got in the way that one moment

Otherwise the staging was flawless

 

[AlekS]

Was this the other song they submitted to Vidbir? It wouldn't have been eligible, right?

They recorded at least 9 songs together, so I have no idea

Taste on point, actually gave points to a lot of the songs in my top half!

 

[hijirio]

It would have been amazing to have a winner from the death spot but alas….

 

[NeoTen]

How many points behind Croatia were they in the end?

94. The starting position of both should predict an average of 45-60 points points difference in Croatia's advantage as this chart shows based on stats until 2016: see https://adriankavanagh.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/slide2.jpg
Those two starting places of and actually had an ~1300(!) point difference in results from 2016 onward. So, yes, Ukraine could have hit 380-410 easily in a better spot.

 

[WhoKnows]

Yes, I think Ukraine could've won from a better spot.

 

[crashworld]

Congrats to Ukraine on another year of good results.
If any country can do well in a death spot, it has to be Ukraine. I bet the showrunners know that so they are willing to risk it.
I hope the Ukrainians and the fans of the song are happy with the overall placement.

 

[gigi_copp3]

Next year Ukraine will win again. If they manage to do 3rd by a death slot, they're just unstoppable. I think 2024 was too close to 2022, but 2025 is a good timing for their 4th win

 

[LoveHate]

Ukraine serving quality again and again.

 

[ag89]

Wonderful performance and well deserved 3rd place although I didn't expect 300+ pts from the televote.
