History

Ukraine won the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2012 with the song "Nebo" performed by Anastasiya Petryk. Her sister, Viktoria Petryk, reached 2nd place at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with "Matrosy".

The country hosted the 2009 contest at the Palace of Sports in Kyiv on 21 November 2009. On 30 November 2013, Ukraine once again hosted the competition, this time at Palace "Ukraine" in Kyiv. Kyiv is the first city to host the contest twice, while Ukraine was then the second country after the Netherlands to host the competition twice.

On 2 July 2018, UA:PBC initially announced that they would not take part in the 2018 contest in Minsk, Belarus due to financial difficulties. However, on 2 August 2018, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) announced that UA:PBC would participate in 2018.
