Selection for Eurovision 2024 in Kyiv continues undercover. “Action” has a failure

The live broadcast of the Ukrainian selection for Eurovision continues from the shelter, and the electronic application “Diya” stopped working properly. According to the presenters of the selection, this could have happened due to overload during voting or as a result of a cyber attack.

“The action needs a little time to recover from such a large number of visitors,” the service’s Telegram channel says.

Former USAID administrator Samantha Power called the Ukrainian electronic application “Diya” a “success story” that shows that “Ukrainians not only protect the future of democracy, but also carry democracy into the future,” Voice of America reported.

“Action shows democracies everywhere how we can use technology to deliver vital services more equitably and more efficiently than ever before, thereby reducing opportunities for corruption and more closely connecting government with citizens,” Power said.

In Diya, Ukrainians also voted for the composition of the jury of the National Selection for Eurovision 2024. People’s Artist of Ukraine became the leaders of the vote Andriy Danylko (43.79%), winner of Eurovision 2016 Jamala (23.62%) and the frontman of the band “Bez bezboret” (12.42%) Sergey Tanchynets.

In total, 720,841 people took part in the survey.

Radio Promin broadcasts the National Selection for Eurovision 2024 in Ukrainian and English.

Singer Alyona Alyona called on international scenes to remind about the prisoners from Azovstal and came to the selection with inscriptions in support of them on their clothes.

A singer also works as a member of the jury in the bomb shelter during the selection Jamala, declared wanted by Russia. Due to the alleged spread of “fakes” about the Russian army, the Russian court decided to arrest her in absentia.

As you know, Ukraine was supposed to host the final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, because the song “Stephania” by the Ukrainian performers Kalush Orchestra won the previous year’s TV contest.

But due to the Russian invasion and bombing, which many Ukrainian cities are experiencing, the European Broadcasting Union granted the right to host the concerts to the city of Liverpool in the north-west of England.

Representatives of 37 countries will take part in the Eurovision Song Contest 2024, which will be held in May next year in Malmö, Sweden, writes the official website of the Ukrainian selection. Russia and Belarus will not be represented at the competition.

The European Broadcasting Union decided in 2022 that no Russian artist would participate in the competition due to Russia’s unprovoked war against Ukraine.
