These past days I've seen a lot of posts regarding the Ukrainian win in Eurovision. As a Ukrainian, I want to share my feelings about it.
I'm so thankful to every European who sent their vote for Ukraine. For the Ukrainian people, this win is not that simple. Honestly, we don't care about hosting next year, the significant effect of this was to let Ukraine situation to be heard.
We have never expected to be involved in a war in 21 century and with neighbouring countries. The loss of the people from Northern, Eastern and Southern parts of Ukraine can't be described.
As well this let us show our culture. Starting from the early period till now, Ukrainian culture has been suppressed by Russian. Our ancestors witnessed a lot of prohibition, labour and even slavery. The song that entirely is Ukrainian and wins ESC — what a moment to be proud of our culture and language.
The last thing is the comments of Spanish people on Twitter. The threats you sent, just because UKRAINE HAS WON BECAUSE OF THE WAR IF SPAIN WERE IN THE WAR, WE WOULD ALSO WIN. Please, Ukraine is willing to let you take not just the trophy but also the Russian army and the war zone.
Today is 82 days of the war. Some people from Europe need to understand that they have their parties, chance to wake up every morning and enjoy the day because of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and volunteers, who are shading their blood, sweat and tears. Russia is the country from which you don't know what to expect next. They started from Ukraine, but next time it may be someone else. Reading their news and threats towards Western countries shouldn't simply leave you. I hope that some of you understand that and never have a chance to witness what it feels like to live in hell, where air alarms almost every single day and you can be shoot by missile any moment of your life.
