OK from doing a little bit of googling this happens most years as one country or another is 1 country or another complains about rigging.

It's not going to change the results, it's already been dealt with:

STATEMENT FROM THE EUROPEAN BROADCASTING UNION

“In the analysis of jury voting by the European Broadcasting Union’s (EBU) pan-European voting partner after the Second Dress Rehearsal of the Second Semi-Final of the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest, certain irregular voting patterns were identified in the results of six countries.”

“In order to comply with the Contest’s Voting Instructions, the EBU worked with its voting partner to calculate a substitute aggregated result for each country concerned for both the Second-Semi Final and the Grand Final (calculated based on the results of other countries with similar voting records). This process was acknowledged by the Independent Voting Monitor. The EBU takes any suspected attempts to manipulate the voting at the Eurovision Song Contest extremely seriously and has the right to remove such votes in accordance with the Official Voting Instructions, irrespective of whether or not such votes are likely to influence the results and/or outcome of the voting.”

Presumably they couldn't announce it till after the Grand Final results were read out to stop it from spoiling the actual contest...

Having just done a little bit of research I think it is actually

very appropriate that Ukraine one tonight. The Eurovision song contest was originally set up to unite European countries through cross-border television broadcasts following World War II, and in doing so to test the capabilities of international broadcast technology.
