Creative producer of the Ukrainian National selection for Eurovision-2025, German Nenov, has shared first details about the upcoming final. He promises a show closely resembling the format of the actual Eurovision Song Contest.

This was announced during a press conference featuring representatives from Suspilne Ukraine and the finalists of Vidbir-2025. The event included the draw to determine the performance order in the final, as well as the presentation of the participantsโ€™ songs.

German Nenov stated that this year’s event will feel like “a full-fledged Eurovision, not just a National selection”.

โ€œThis selection is not just a music contest but a moment of unity for the country. We aim to showcase the uniqueness of Ukrainian music and prove that our creative industry deserves global recognition,โ€ Nenov emphasized.

In addition, the visual style of the participants’ postcards will be updated so audience connect more personally with the contestants: โ€œWe are meticulously crafting these postcards, which will serve as promotional campaigns โ€” portraits of our talented participants. Through the show, we want to introduce you to these artists so that you not only watch their performances and vote during the selection but also support their work on streaming platforms,โ€ Nenov explained.

The show will also feature five interval acts. Regarding the hosts, there will be three, all of whom are familiar to viewers from previous editions of the selection, though their names have not yet been disclosed.

The opening performance will include nine Ukrainian Eurovision stars performing a symbolic song for Ukrainians in an unusual sound arrangement.

The winner of the National Selection and Ukraine’s representative for Eurovision-2025 will be determined based on the jury and audience votes during the final concert on February 8.The 10 participants competing for victory in the National Selection are Vlad Sheryf, Abiye, MOLODI, Future Culture, Masha Kondratenko, KHAYAT, FIINKA, KRYLATA, Ziferblat, and DK Energetik.
