Ukraine participated in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 in Liverpool, United Kingdom, with "Heart of Steel" performed by Tvorchi.

Ukraine has been the runner-up in the contest on two occasions: in 2007 with "Dancing Lasha Tumbai" by Verka Serduchka and in 2008 with "Shady Lady" by Ani Lorak.

In 2022, the broadcaster opted to independently organise a national final to select the Ukrainian entry, a process that was used again for 2023.

[7][8] The United Kingdom was subsequently confirmed as the host country of the 2023 contest on 25 July, with UA:PBC working with the BBC to develop and implement Ukrainian elements for the live shows, and Ukraine being granted automatic qualification for the final.

The competition took place in the Maidan Nezalezhnosti metro station in Kyiv, and consisted of a final on 17 December 2022.

[15] The third stage was the final, which took place on 17 December 2022 and featured the ten acts vying to represent Ukraine in Liverpool.

[18][19] Musician Dmytro Shurov, who had been appointed the music producer of the competition, reviewed the 384 received submissions and longlisted 36 entries, of which their artists were announced on 27 October 2022.

Ten entries competed and the winner, "Heart of Steel" by Tvorchi, was selected through the combination of votes from a public televote and an expert jury.

[30] In addition to the performances of the competing entries, jury member Jamala, 2007 Ukrainian Eurovision entrant Verka Serduchka, 2022 Ukrainian Junior Eurovision entrant Zlata Dziunka and the competition's music producer Dmytro Shurov performed as guests.

Shurov also noted that the duplicated vocal could also be a technical error due to the difficult production conditions in an underground venue.

A complaint was also made regarding the distribution of "Heart of Steel" by the label Believe Music, which still operates in Russia, but the organising committee concluded it was not a violation of the rules.

[33] According to Eurovision rules, all nations with the exceptions of the host country and the "Big Five" (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) are required to qualify from one of two semi-finals in order to compete in the final; the top ten countries from each semi-final progress to the final.
