Ukraine will participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2017. In addition to participating in the contest, the Ukrainian broadcaster National Television Company of Ukraine (NTU) will also host the Eurovision Song Contest at the International Exhibition Centre in Kiev after winning the competition in 2016 with the song "1944" performed by Jamala. The Ukrainian entry for the 2017 contest will be selected through a national final, which NTU will organise in collaboration with the commercial broadcaster STB.
Prior to the 2017 Contest, Ukraine had participated in the Eurovision Song Contest thirteen times since its first entry in 2003. The nation had won the contest on two occasions: in 2004 with the song "Wild Dances" performed by Ruslana and in 2016 with the song "1944" performed by Jamala. Following the introduction of semi-finals for the 2004, Ukraine had managed to qualify to the final in every contest they participated in thus far. Ukraine had been the runner-up in the contest on two occasions: in 2007 with the song "Dancing Lasha Tumbai" performed by Verka Serduchka and in 2008 with the song "Shady Lady" performed by Ani Lorak. Ukraine's least successful result had been 19th place, which they achieved during the 2005, with the song "Razom nas bahato" performed by GreenJolly.
