Ukrainian musician Kirill Bledny, frontman of the band Poshlaya Molly, has been banned from entering the European Union for ten years after making controversial remarks about the Polish language. In a rant last year, Bledny insulted the Polish language, suggesting Poles should switch to Russian. Despite the backlash, he claimed his comments were intended as a joke and issued an apology. In this video, we explore the incident, the fallout, and whether his comments were truly just a joke or a sign of deeper tensions. How does this ban impact the music scene and relations between Ukraine and Poland?
