The grand final began with a pointed group performance of John Lennon‘s ‘Give Peace A Chance’ and ended with a Ukrainian act emerging triumphant in front of a huge global audience. The message from the 40 nations that compete and vote in Eurovision was impossible to miss: we see you, and we have your back.
