Eurovision winners sell trophy to buy drones for Ukraine
Kalush Orchestra, the Ukrainian band which won this year's Eurovision Song Contest, have sold their trophy for $900,000 (£712,000; €838,000) to raise money for the war in Ukraine, BBC News reports.
The crystal microphone was auctioned on Facebook, with the aim of buying drones for Ukraine's military.
The sale coincided with the band's appearance at a charity concert at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate.
It aimed to raise money for medical care and supplies.
Speaking at the concert, band member Oleh Psiuk appealed for people not to get used to the war, which has left at least 4,031 civilians dead and 4,735 injured, according to the UN, along with an unknown number of combatants.
Ukrainian TV presenter Serhiy Prytula announced that the money raised from the sale of the trophy would be used to purchase three Ukrainian-made PD-2 drones, Reuters news agency reports.
