Kalush Orchestra, the Ukrainian band which won this year's Eurovision Song Contest, have sold their trophy for $900,000 (£712,000; €838,000) to raise money for the war in Ukraine. The crystal microphone was auctioned on Facebook. The money will be used to purchase three Ukrainian-made PD-2 drones, Reuters news agency reports. Drones are used heavily by Ukrainian and Russian forces, both as weapons and reconnaissance aircraft. Â鶹Éç reporter David Lewis says the band were also collecting funds at their concert at Berlin's Brandenberg Gate, where band member Oleh Psiuk appealed for people not to get used to the war.
