Ukraine revealed its entry to the 2023 Eurovision song contest over the weekend, choosing the winning song live from a Kyiv metro station that doubles as an underground bomb shelter

Ukrainian fans and a panel of judges picked electronic music duo Tvorchi and their song “Heart of Steel” to represent them in Liverpool, England, where Eurovision will be held in May next year.

The duo has competed to take part in Eurovision before: In February 2020, it performed the song 'Bonfire' in Vidbir but was not selected. The event, which was due to take place in the Netherlands, was canceled because of the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.
