Some hours before the start of the contest Ruslana withdrew from performing at the event motivated by the violent actions of the ukrainian authorities against the pro-European Union protests that were happening near the contest's venue.[17] Gaia Cauchi representing Malta won the contest with the song "The Start". This was Malta's first Junior Eurovision victory as well as their first victory in any Eurovision competition.[7] It also marked the first time in the history of the contest that a winning entry was sung entirely in English. This was also the first contest to introduce a new awards system: The winning country along with the second and third place countries each received a trophy. Sofia Tarasova, representing the host nation Ukraine, took second place and Ilya Volkov singing for Belarus took the third-place trophy.
