Ukraine will enter this year's Eurovision Song Contest, the country has confirmed.
It comes as the nation fights back against attacks from Putin's Russia, which first invaded Ukraine last month.
The country will still take part in the annual competition, but they won't attend the event in Italy and will instead pre-record their song.
Announcing the news, Ukraine's Eurovision act KALUSH Orchestra said: "Despite the fighting, the KALUSH Orchestra will record their performance in a safe place, which will be sent to the organizers of the song contest, and in case of our victory over the occupiers by May, our delegation will go to Italy and sing live all over Europe!"
This year, the UK will be represented by TikTok star and musician Sam Ryder at the annual competition, which won't allow Russia to perform.
