Does Ukraine vote in the second semifinal?

According to Eurovision rules, viewers can only vote in the semifinal where their country's representative performs. Ukraine’s representative, the band Ziferblat, with the song "Bird of Pray", performed in the first semifinal on May 13.

Therefore, today, viewers who are located in Ukraine and have Ukrainian mobile numbers cannot vote.

At the same time, Ukrainians who are abroad can vote for their favorite song. The key condition is to have either a mobile operator or a bank card from one of the countries participating in the second semifinal of Eurovision.

Remember, you can vote up to 20 times for the performers who impressed you most.
