Listeners to BBC Radio Merseyside this week will hear Ukrainian as well as English jingles as Liverpool hosts the Eurovision Song Contest.

Ms Shokalo added: "She has been listened to by thousands of people in Ukraine and now thousands of British people, and the guests of this event will hear this strong and beautiful Ukrainian voice.”

BBC Radio Merseyside’s executive editor Andrew Bowman said: “Sam Ryder said this is Ukraine’s party and we’re hosting it in our house – and these special jingles really embody that spirit.

Meanwhile commuters in Liverpool are being treated to music from Ukrainian buskers.

Alfie Roberts, director at Supplies For Ukraine, said: "The ongoing war in Ukraine has robbed these incredibly talented musicians of the opportunity to share their passion and the joy of their music with the world."
