According to the Ukrainian public broadcaster, Suspilne , the Kalush Orchestra will be present in Turin!

This year, the representatives of Ukraine decided that the best they can do for their country is to support it through direct communication with the European public. The band’s frontman Oleg Psyuk stated in Lviv:

Until recently, Ukraine’s participation in Eurovision was in question, but now we can definitely announce that KALUSH ORCHESTRA is going to Turin and will perform live at Eurovision

So for the first time since the beginning of the Russian invasion in Ukraine, the group gathered in Lviv and began the preparations for Turin. Also, Kalush Orchestra will take part in a number of promotional concerts over the coming weeks and is planning to raise funds to aid the reconstruction of Ukrainian cities affected by the war. Frontman of the group, Oleg Psyuk said:

Through our speeches, we want to raise funds for the reconstruction of Ukrainian cities affected by the war. Many mass events dedicated to Eurovision are taking place now.

Earlier this week the Deputy Director of Rai 1, the host broadcaster of Eurovision 2022, confirmed that Ukraine had been exempted from the requirement to film a live-on-tape performance for the contest.
