With a week to go until the contest, the hosts of Vidbir 2025 have been announced!

The Ukrainian broadcaster Suspilne has revealed that the show will be hosted by comedian Vasyl Baydak, commentator and Eurovision staple Timur Miroshnychenko, and television personality Maria Efrosynina. Miroshnychenko and Efrosynina have each hosted the Eurovision Song Contest in 2005 and 2017 respectively.

Speaking about the opportunity, Efrosynina commented on the impact of this year’s Vidbir selection: “This year, the National Selection impressed with its musical diversity and selection of professional and talented young artists. It is our duty as a society to support youth and develop our culture.”

Miroshnychenko called the opportunity to host “an honor,” and was equally as enthusiastic about the lineup, revealing his previous message to Vidbir 2025 Creative Producer German Nenov: “I said that finally our selection will be the one I dreamed of all 20 years of work at Eurovision.”

Baydak added: “I’ve prepared even more crisis jokes this year. So even if Diya is captured by zombies in flared pants, we’ll remember the closing of the festival in Sheshory in 1997 – it’ll be more fun.”

Ten artists and songs will compete on Saturday, February 8 at 17:30 CET to represent Ukraine in Basel:

  1. Vlad Sheriff – “Winds of Change”
  2. Abiye – “Dim”
  3. MOLODI – “my sea”
  4. Future Culture – “Waste My Time”
  5. Masha Kondratenko – “No Time to Cry”
  6. KHAYAT – “HONOR”
  7. FIÏNKA – “Kultura”
  8. KRYLATA – “STAY TRUE”
