Hvem skal efterfølge Kalush Orchestra som Ukraines repræsentant i Eurovision?
UA:PBC, det ukrainske nationale tv, har i dag afsløret de ti bidrag, der deltager som finalister i det lokale ukrainske grandprix, der på de egne går under betegnelsen Yevrobachennia, Natsionalnyi Vidbir eller bare Vibdir. Programmet blev afholdt første gang i 2016. De 'regerende mestre' i Eurovision er ved at være klar til at afholde deres lokale finale, for at finde deres bidrag til Eurovision 2023 i Liverpool. Trods de russiske bomber, der falder omkring ørerne på dem, har de ud af 384 indsendte bidrag udvalgt disse ti, der kæmper om billetten til Eurovision 2023:
2TONE – The Flower Den ukrainske finale er planlagt til at blive afholdt i et 'beskyttelsesrum' i Maidan Nezalezhnosti metro station i Kyiv den 17. december. UA:PBC vil frigive de 10 numre i starten af december, hvor der også vil blive trukket lod om startrækkefølgen.

Dmytro Shurov (Vidbir 2023 Music Producer) siger:
I am very grateful to all the musicians that managed to do an important job in really difficult circumstances, both emotionally and physically, often under sirens and shellings, in basements and with no power supply.
The task was complicated as, besides writing a good song that would touch people, recording it in a studio and performing it live at auditions, the participants had to comply with all the rules of the national selection.
As a result of great common work of the team of Suspilne Ukraine and the musicians that submitted their songs to participate in Eurovision 2023, this year we will hear a lot of interesting new Ukrainian music of very different styles, and I am confident that every listener will find their favourite there.
A lot of great musicians stayed beyond these ten finalists. I believe that they will have their say in Ukrainian music soon.
This gives me hope and confidence that next Vidbirs will be no less interesting.
