What's the history of Ukraine's Eurovision entry Kalush Orchestra and song Stefania? - BBC News
Here is a (quite emotional) reaction to the video:
Kalush Orchestra Reaction - Stefania (Official Music Video Eurovision 2022) - TEACHER PAUL REACTS
If you haven't watched the official video, you can find it here.

And then I came across this (long story). The song is called 'Hello' and is by the group АНТИТІЛА (Antytila). The video is... striking. (From my brief foray, their videos all appear to be incredibly well crafted.) And the song is great!
In 2018, Volodymyr Zelenskyy (before he became president), participated in one of their videos: LEGO.
Since 2014, three group members (Topolia, Vusyk, and Vodovozov) were army volunteers, and shortly before the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine they joined the Territorial Defense Forces. Here they are addressing Ed Sheeran ahead of his charity concert, and they also played with Bono & The Edge when U2 performed in Kyiv earlier this month.
