https://youtu.be/Ngjiih9Z49c - CHANGES by #KalushOrchestra just came out this morning and for my money, it’s the video of the year on first watch. Yes, it’s the #eurovision group, but they need to be known past that.

This is good. Last year's Eurovision Song Contest was won by Ukrainian group Kalush Orchestra. The song was "Stefania." Usually the winning country hosts next year's contest, which isn't possible now. So Britain, 2022's runner-up, has offered to host (in Liverpool, in May 2023) on Ukraine's behalf.

Yasia lives in #Kyiv. She is the daughter of 🇺🇦 journalist @ogartet

Today marks one year since Russia brutally invaded her country. She sings "Stefania" from #KalushOrchestra

We believe that one day she will sing this song in a free Ukraine.

Os #KalushOrchestra atravessaram um oceano e dois continentes só para poderem filmar o seu novo vídeoclip num cenário mais urbano depressivo do que o que seria possível encontrar nas cidades industriais da #Ucrânia bombardeadas pelos russos. #LosAngeles

#KalushOrchestra, the band from #Ukraine that won the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, received a special invitation to visit #ArnoldSchwarzenegger while they were on tour in the United States in the autumn of 2022.
"We shot a video for one of our songs. We didn't even think that it would be such a cool clip."

At the end of the video, #Schwarzenegger speaks a few words in Ukrainian.

Well, I wasn’t counting on #Eurovision infiltrating the BBC’s #NewYear coverage quite so much. Not only have we had #SamRyder bookending the fireworks (including yet another variation on Space Man) but big chunks of 🇺🇦#KalushOrchestra’s winning song Stefania during them, plus The Big Eurovision Party straight afterwards. Astonishing!

🇺🇦 The #KalushOrchestra donated more $8000 for the restoration of the Hryhoriy Skovoroda museum, which was destroyed by #RussiaIsATerroristState in #Kharkiv Oblast.
