On Sunday, May 5, the opening ceremony of the 68thEurovision Song Contest2024 took place in the Swedish city of Malmö. All participants walked the "Turquoise Walkway".

Only the delegation from Israel did not take part in the process to commemorate the anniversary of the Holocaust. The ceremony was broadcast on the official Eurovision YouTube channel.

Ukrainian singers alyona alyona & Jerry Heil appeared on the stage with symbolic keys as a reminder of the terror Ukrainians are experiencing. They say they have the keys, but no longer have their homes.

The singers presented the host with an Easter basket and taught him how to "fight with Easter eggs."

This year, the main song contest is being held in Malmö. The first and second semifinals will take place on May 5 and 7, and the winner will be chosen by Europe on May 11. Representatives from Ukraine will perform in the first semifinal. A total of 37 countries are participating in the contest.

As a reminder, Isaak, the German representative at Eurovision 2024, expressed a desire to return the terrorist country to the contest. In less than an hour, this quote was removed. Obviously, the artist's reputation was in jeopardy, so they tried to hush up the scandal.

However, many European fans managed to read the original version of the interview and were outraged by the German's position.
