- On May 14, during the performance at the Eurovision final, the Kalush Orchestra called to save Azovstal. “Help Ukraine, Mariupol, help Azovstal! Right now!” — shouted the bandʼs soloist Oleh Psyuk from the stage. However, the organizers said that they will not disqualify Ukraine — because this was a humanitarian call, not a political one.
