So, yesterday's night Eurovision show brought us a new voting system. Ironically, for the first time, we could see the didfference between Jury and Televoting results.
The differences were especially interesting in four cases: Australia, Poland, and of course, Russia and Ukraine.

I have the feeling that #Ukraine is going to win tonight. https://t.co/ZThI2c4L3w
We already had a hunch that yesterday's night was Ukraine's night... And not because of the quality of its song (that has been qualified by some of the people I follow in Twitter -Spaniards with no interest in the Ukrainian conflict- from "ordinary" to "worst winner ever").
The ironic thing is that yesterday we could see where public opinion had been more manipulated and which jury was farther from their fellow citizens liking.
Televote
Russia 361
Ukraine 323
Jury
Ukraine 211
Russia 130
As, it was obvious, more juries benefited Ukraine than Russia, and in considerably higher numbers (not even one Jury benefited Russia with more than 9 points in relation to Ukraine, while 9 Juries benefited Ukraine with 10 or more points).
It is not difficult to understand that Juries are meant to "direct" the song contest's results in the direction desired by the organization, but in some cases the Juries voting was simply offending (specially the case of Serbia).
About the table:
Jury vs Televote Pro-Ukraine Difference: A number between +24 and -24.
+24 would appear if Televoters gave 12 points to Russia and 0 to Ukraine, and the Jury gave the complete opposite. -24 would appear if Televoters gave 12 points to Ukraine and 0 to Russia, and the Jury gave the complete opposite.
