According to Oksana Skybinska, Head of Delegation for Eurovision, participation in Eurovision 2026 is an opportunity for Ukraine to showcase the uniqueness of its musical DNA.
“In 2026, Eurovision will be a landmark musical event as it marks the Contest’s anniversary. Large-scale events and heightened media attention are exactly what we can expect. For Ukraine, this is a chance to make our voice heard louder than ever and once again affirm the strength and uniqueness of our musical DNA. Considering the challenges posed by the previous contest, we want to prove that Ukraine is above all about incredible artists who create music of European quality, set trends, convey profound meanings, and through their own example proudly demonstrate the high level of creativity born under the incomparable hardships of war. The anniversary contest, which will draw the world’s attention, is the perfect opportunity to do so. In addition, given this milestone year for Eurovision, we are preparing surprises for the National Selection. We will start revealing them very soon,” – Oksana Skybinska said.
