"Military Conflict" influenced: Spain called the success of Ukraine on "Eurovision" by fraud
Therefore, Spain plans to contact the European Language Union (EBU) to start discussing the score from the audience. "RTVE is going to demand debate on Tele voting to assess whether the way it is happening is the best. We believe that telephone voting is influenced by current military conflicts, which is why the competition loses its cultural essence," Spain said in the Public Broadcasting Broadcasting Company.
This request was published the day after the Eurovision-2025 Grand Finals, that is, May 18. Also, RTVE wants to receive from the Eurovision organizers, detailed information about the results of telephone voting to find out how many votes each country has received from Spain. Ukraine and Israel received support from the audience, so they were able to hold high positions in the overall rating.
Ziferblat, who represented Ukraine, won 60 votes from the national jury, and was given as much as an Israeli singer Juval Raphael. The audience rated their performances at 158 and 297 points, respectively. As a result, Ukraine took ninth place in the competition, and Israel is second. The final of the competition was broadcast on May 17 from 22:00 Kyiv time. Our country was represented by Ziferblat with a song of Bird of Pray, which combines electronics and folklore elements.
Although the band went to the finals, according to EurovisionWorld, the chances of competitors to win were less than 1%. This put us on a par with countries such as Italy, Spain and Greece, which also had a low chance of winning. The Bird of Pray song combines elements of the progressive year, theatrical vocals and harmonious tunes, creating the atmosphere of the 1970s. The composition is performed in Ukrainian and English. The intrigue to the last was between representatives of Austria and Israel.
Earlier, we wrote that the rehearsals of Israeli Juval Raphael took place in a tense atmosphere. Viewers with Palestinian symbols were present in the hall, who loudly shown the performance. The general rehearsal of the second semifinals was also disrupted by angry protesters. The winner of the chief song contest JJ from Australia performed the Wasted Love song about love. It is an emotional song that combines pop with elements of opera vocals and electronics.
The song tells the pain of unrequited love, using sea metaphors to convey a sense of immersion in your own emotions. The stage design was developed by the Spanish director Sergio Haane, focusing on black and white cinematic aesthetics inspired by marine themes.
Recall that the Minister of Finance of Austria Marcus Martbauer, after announcing the results of the Eurovision-2025 voting, published a satirical headline of the website on Instagram at night, stating that he "three thousand times he voted for Sweden" in order to avoid "Evbut. Focus also wrote that the Ukrainian singer and performer Kateryna Pavlenko was expelled from the participants of the Eurovision National Jury.
