The ban on Russian music in Ukraine
There is an official ban on public playing of Russian music in Ukraine due to Vladimir Putin’s illegal invasion. The opposition news network Strana claimed that “the clash arose because of Russian music“.
According to the report: “Vacationers fought on an Odessa beach after a song in Russian was heard“. However, the exact reason for this mass brawl has not been officially confirmed.
