The representative of Ukraine – singer Leleka (Victoria Leleka) – on May 16, performed at the grand final of Eurovision 2026 with the competition song Ridnym. A video of her performance was published on the YouTube channel of the competition organizers.
Leleka appeared on stage together with the Ukrainian bandura player, founder of the Shpilyasti Kobzari group Yaroslav Dzhus as number seven. The singer gave her fans goosebumps with her incredible performance.
At the end of the performance, the artist shouted: “Glory to Ukraine!”
On the eve of her performance, Ukrainians were most worried that the artist would be able to clearly perform the vocalise, which lasts about 30 seconds.
