The national selection was broadcasted as a recorded segment for safety reasons (the recording was made a few hours before the television broadcast), while the announcement of the voting results occurred live from a shelter. The hosts of this year's national selection were Maria Efrosinina, Timur Miroshnychenko, and Vasyl Baidak.

History of the Ziferblat Band

Ziferblat was founded about 10 years ago and consists of 29-year-old twin brothers Daniil (vocalist) and Valentyn Leshchynskyi (guitarist), along with 27-year-old Fedir Khodakov (drummer). The band's first mini-album, "Kinosyans," was released in December 2017. In 2019, they released the single "Vnochi" and participated in the television competition "X-Factor" with it.

In October 2022, the band made it to the long list for the national selection of "Eurovision-2023," but did not reach the top ten. In the national selection for "Eurovision-2024," Ziferblat secured second place, receiving the maximum score (11) from the jury and 8 points from the audience. In March 2024, the band held two concerts in Kyiv at the Atlas club, which were completely sold out. Following this, the group embarked on its first tour across Ukraine, performing a total of 11 concerts. In this year's national selection, the band was one of the favorites.
