With the contest finishing long after the midnight curfew, most in the city watched the event at home
Clutching bottles of craft beer and sleeping bags, Julia Tymoshenko and her friends gathered in a co-working space in central Kyiv to watch the grand final of the Eurovision song contest. They were sleeping over so they could keep watching, together, until the end – hours after the capital’s midnight curfew.
The hosting of the contest, which should have been in Ukraine, was relocated to Liverpool because of Russia’s war.
