Even before the contest, the song drew listeners&#8217; attention with its tenderness and emotional depth. The Ukrainian artist&#8217;s performance began with a walk along a white catwalk to bandurist <strong data-start=\"1772\" data-end=\"1790\">Yaroslav Dzhus<\/strong>. In this way the team emphasized the Ukrainian folk instrument and its authentic sound.

Because of this, viewers compared her to a stork. The singer performed in a white dress over pants, and the multilayered fabric elements moved with her and enhanced the drama of the number. The audience&#8217;s attention was especially drawn to the finale of the staging, when the light costume gradually changed to a red color reminiscent of a theatre curtain. The emotional performance by <strong data-start=\"2422\" data-end=\"2432\">LEL\u00c9KA<\/strong> left the audience moved and earned <strong data-start=\"2472\" data-end=\"2483\">Ukraine<\/strong> the coveted place in the <strong data-start=\"2507\" data-end=\"2529\">&#8220;Eurovision 2026&#8221;<\/strong> final.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2532\" data-end=\"2604\">After the two semi-finals, the list of countries that advanced to the final is as follows:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2606\" data-end=\"2898\">\n<li data-section-id=\"1k04ki2\" data-start=\"2606\" data-end=\"2619\">Greece;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"xdamw\" data-start=\"2620\" data-end=\"2636\">Finland;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1a0da7e\" data-start=\"2637\" data-end=\"2651\">Belgium;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"oqccw3\" data-start=\"2652\" data-end=\"2665\">Sweden;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"xlq15u\" data-start=\"2666\" data-end=\"2680\">Moldova;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"trvy1e\" data-start=\"2681\" data-end=\"2695\">Israel;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"11xn5qn\" data-start=\"2696\" data-end=\"2709\">Serbia;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1p7comp\" data-start=\"2710\" data-end=\"2725\">Croatia;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1mjrexc\" data-start=\"2726\" data-end=\"2738\">Lithuania;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"196qwl8\" data-start=\"2739\" data-end=\"2752\">Poland;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1la7zod\" data-start=\"2753\" data-end=\"2768\">Bulgaria;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1a452jk\" data-start=\"2769\" data-end=\"2783\"><strong data-start=\"2771\" data-end=\"2782\">Ukraine<\/strong>;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"9l3uot\" data-start=\"2784\" data-end=\"2799\">Norway;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"s6j62o\" data-start=\"2800\" data-end=\"2816\">Australia;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"7uunjf\" data-start=\"2817\" data-end=\"2831\">Romania;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"gntcze\" data-start=\"2832\" data-end=\"2845\">Malta;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"69ro9s\" data-start=\"2846\" data-end=\"2857\">Cyprus;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"16o4g1p\" data-start=\"2858\" data-end=\"2872\">Albania;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1eqlswj\" data-start=\"2873\" data-end=\"2885\">Denmark;<\/li>\n<li data-section-id=\"1eh623s\" data-start=\"2886\" data-end=\"2898\">Czech Republic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2900\" data-end=\"2977\">The grand final of <strong data-start=\"2912\" data-end=\"2934\">&#8220;Eurovision 2026&#8221;<\/strong> will take place on <strong data-start=\"2951\" data-end=\"2964\">16 May<\/strong> in <strong data-start=\"2967\" data-end=\"2976\">Vienna<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Reminder, earlier we wrote:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/2026\/02\/570681\/shou-v-zapysi-peremoha-nazhyvo-leleka-predstavnytsia-ukrainy-na-ievrobachenni\/\">Pre-recorded show, live victory: LEL\u00c9KA &#8211; Ukraine&#8217;s representative at Eurovision<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/en\/2026\/05\/587694\/rain-didn-t-stop-karaoke-on-soborna-the-day-s-leader-was-alisa-pekera-a-young-woman-from-mykolaiv\/\">Rain didn&#8217;t stop karaoke on Soborna: the day&#8217;s leader was young Mykolaiv resident Alisa Pekera<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/2025\/07\/549095\/oliviia-tkachyk-ide-do-zirok-matviivka-zvuchatyme-na-vsiu-krainu\/\">Olivia Tkachyk heads for the stars: Matviivka will be heard across the country<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/2024\/09\/470482\/natsvidbir-na-dytiache-ievrobachennia-2024-dvi-iuni-artystky-z-mykolaieva-uvijshly-do-top-10-uchasnykiv\/\">Young artists from Mykolaiv entered the top 10 participants of the National Selection for Junior Eurovision 2024<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/korabelov.info\/2023\/09\/415762\/predstavnicya-mikolaieva-anastasiya-bielibova-vistupit-u-finali-nacvidboru-dityachogo-ievrobachennya\/\">Mykolaiv representative Anastasia Bielibova will perform in the final of the National Selection for Junior Eurovision<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ukraine in the final of \"Eurovision 2026\".
