Michael Ben David, a participant in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 from Israel, commented that this year bookmakers predict victory for the KALUSH Orchestra group from Ukraine.
He spoke about this at a press conference after the second rehearsal. He stressed that Ukraine must win both the song contest and win back its country:
“Everyone is talking about Ukraine in first place at Eurovision . And I say that this is nothing. They must win everything. They must win and win back their country. Not only Eurovision. They must win everything. Because no one understands what they are going through now. Therefore, it is very difficult. And I hope it will end soon, “said Michael Ben David.
The performer also shared that he knows firsthand what is happening in Ukraine. Michael admitted that his mother is from Ukraine, and his relatives now live in Kyiv and, according to him, “no one understands what is happening, they are often in the basement.”
The Eurovision Song Contest 2022 will take place next week. Semi-finals – May 10 and 12, final – May 14. Ukraine will perform in the first semi-final, May 10, at number 6.
