Ukraine's Eurovision win

Available for over a year

For Oleh Psiuk and his band, the Kalush Orchestra, Europe's biggest pop fest was much more than just a singing competition. Their winning song 'Stefania' - an ode to Oleh's mother that combines rap, hip hop and folk music - became an anthem for the spirit of Ukrainian identity, and defiance in the face of war. The word 'mother' become 'motherland' - and TikTok was awash with Ukrainians chanting the chorus. The band, made up of six young men, struggled to rehearse and film a music video in war-torn towns where electricity, gas and food were hard to come by. They were given special permits to leave Ukraine - as men of their age are duty bound to stay and help the war effort. Viktoriia Zhuhan - from the BBC's Ukrainian service - travelled with them from the battlefields of Irpin to the competition final in Italy. For 5 Minutes On, they shared with her their feelings about not going to the front line to fight for their country - and why they feel their music is such an important way of keeping the plight of Ukraine in the world spotlight.
