He’s vowed to host it in Mariupol next year.

Interesting, this says he’s said next year on Facebook, other news agencies are reporting he said ‘one day in a rebuilt Mariupol’ on instagram, which seems a bit more realistic to me, eg Eurovision win brings 'incredible happiness' to Ukraine - BBC News
Even if the war ended tomorrow, seems very unlikely Mariupol would be in a state to host Eurovision this time next year.

All I’ll say is everyone has always under estimated Ukraine.
Let’s see what happens.

It’s fine you can be called Jim if you don’t like that.
On the result; I’m not mad Ukraine won really. I don’t think in other years the song would have won though.
In my heart I’m happy Ukraine won; my head says the UK really won (second place was always going to be the “winner” in other years).
I hope we put in an effort to host. I cannot imagine Ukraine being ready to host and have that many tourists by next year.

No I agree although I think it would’ve been top 5, obviously people showing solidarity was what made it get the biggest televote in history.
There were a lot of very boring ballads this year, Ukraine did stand out. I wonder what would have happened if their song was totally rubbish.
Anyway, like you I’m glad they won, it’s more than just the music this year

Oof. Powerful stuff.
I don’t begrudge Ukraine their win at all, it’s a decent song and probably would’ve performed well even without everything else going on.
