The wait, the stress and then the explosion of joy.

Timur Myroshnychenko, who has been commentating on Eurovision in Ukraine for 17 years, could not contain his emotion when the group representing his country, Kalush Orchestra, easily won the competition on Saturday evening.

A video shows him typing on his desk, screaming and getting up to celebrate the victory.

This is how Ukraine's Eurovision presenter and commentator Timur Miroshnychenko reacted to the news of Kalush Orchestra's victory.

Due to Russia's never-ending rocket attacks, Timur had to go on air from a bomb shelter.

The presenter and his team had to change their plans this year as war raged in the country.

They settled in a bunker whose address has been kept secret for security reasons.

But this hostile environment did not prevent Timur Myroshnychenko from savoring this symbolic success and transmitting his happiness to all Ukrainian viewers.
