Unconfirmed reports are that Alexander Balabanov (Олександр Балабанов) has won the Ukraine selection for Junior Eurovision.
With only the jury voting being known, it would now appear that it is impossible for Alexander to be overtaken when the public vote closes tomorrow and therefore he will represent Ukraine in Junior Eurovision 2020.
The official result is due to be announced later this week.

Armenia have confirmed that they will participate in the 2020 Junior Eurovision Song Contest in Warsaw, Poland in November.
The official announcement of participating countries has yet to be confirmed. However, with the addition of Armenia, the known countries taking part in JESC is 14, so far.
Because the announcement of Armenia taking part is relatively late is assumed they will pick an act internally at this late stage instead of organizing a national selection.

The 2020 Malta Junior Eurovision Song Contest national selection finalists were revealed yesterday (as ESC Covers reported). There were 12 finalists announced and a couple of familiar faces are in contention.
Gianluca Cilia, who charmed the audiences and tv viewing public, represented Malta in 2017 in Tbilisi, Georgia with the catchy Dawra tond. This time Gianluca is involved in a duet with Yulan Law. It will be interesting to see if Gianluca can make it to Junior Eurovision again, as no male has ever done this before.
Another act returning to the Malta Junior Eurovision final is the talented Leah Cauchi. She sang the much rated Maltese language song, Illejla, in the national selection in 2019. Although Leah did not win the song achieved much acclaim and she filmed an official music video for the track.
All the acts will perform their songs later this month and the eventual winner will be decided by an expert jury and the public vote. The 12 acts are –
ESC Covers wishes all the acts lots of luck.
