That combination of Jury Votes and Televotes is the second highest winning Score in Eurovision History. ‘Amar pelos dois’ by Salvador Sobral from Portugal is still the highest scoring winner of all time.

Stefania is the first fully Ukrainian song that won Eurovision.
Eurovision Song Contest 2022 Winner, Stefania
The lyrics of the song is a collaboration between Ivan Klymenko and Oleh Psiuk who members of the band. Oleh Psiuk wrote this song for his late mother, hence the title but the song’s meaning change to the listeners when Russia’s War with Ukraine happened. Ukrainians associate the song now to the plight of Mother Ukraine, their own country.
After Winning the competition, The band was asked where do they want to perform next and they answered, they want to perform on the stage of any city from a free Ukraine.
There is a Miracle that happened in Eurovision this night. United Kingdom had been the running Joke of Eurovision for 15 years.

United Kingdom would have won with 466 with the song Spaceman. UK is finally free from their decades long curse of performing worst in Eurovision.
