🇺🇦 Poltava city council has voted to ban Russian-language content across the city, according to Ukraine's language ombudsman.

The ban covers "Russian-language cultural products" - including Ukrainian content produced in Russian, not just content from Russia itself - and applies to public transport, restaurants, cultural venues, shops, and other public spaces.

Prohibited: Russian-language books, music, films, theatre productions, concerts, and cultural or educational events in public settings.

Previously, only songs by Russian citizens were legally banned - not Russian-language content broadly. Several cities including Kiev and Ternopol had already introduced similar restrictions, though without enforcement mechanisms. Poltava's measure goes further.
