Controversy Surrounds Sweden's Second Eurovision Win Amid War in Ukraine

TL;DR Summary
Swedish singer Loreen wins the Eurovision Song Contest with her power ballad "Tattoo," while Ukraine's Tvorchi comes sixth with "Heart of Steel," an anthem to the country's resilience inspired by the siege of the Azovstal steelworks in Mariupol. The contest was clouded for a second year by the war in Europe, with Russia banned from the contest last year over its invasion of Ukraine. The win gives Sweden the right to host next year, the 50th anniversary of Sweden's first Eurovision triumph — ABBA's 1974 victory with "Waterloo."
