Ukrainian Singer Banned for 10 Years Over Polish Language Insult: What Was the 'Vulgar' Joke?

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.
