Leleka returned to Kyiv after Eurovision 2026
Ukraine’s representative at the Eurovision Song Contest 2026, singer Leleka, has officially returned to the capital with her team following her performance in the grand final in Europe.
The artist has already shared her initial thoughts on the long musical marathon, thanked her fans for their support, and discussed her upcoming creative plans.
The singer released a touching video showing how warmly she was welcomed by fans and media representatives.
“You’re wonderful, thank you for welcoming us so warmly yesterday in Kyiv. Our Eurovision marathon has come to an end. I want to create again, write new music, and see you in packed concert halls,” the artist wrote on her social media under the posted footage.
At the same time, in a comment to journalists on the station platform, Leleka candidly admitted that the contest had exhausted her emotionally and physically, so now she dreams of simply resting.
“I want to hibernate for a week, to forget about everyone completely. And then start writing music. To clear my head and write music,” the singer shared her main wish.
However, the star is unlikely to get a proper rest in the coming days, as a series of major interviews awaits her.
As a reminder, in the Eurovision 2026 Grand Final, Ukrainian performer Leleka took ninth place overall.
Ukraine scored a total of 221 points, of which 54 points were awarded by the professional jury, and 167 points came from European viewers, who traditionally supported our country much more strongly.
On the European stage, the artist performed alongside renowned bandura player Yaroslav Dzhus, and their performance was filled with deep Ukrainian symbolism.
