Russian music, movies banned in public places in Ternopil region

A moratorium on the use of Russian-language cultural products in any form has been introduced in Ukraine's Ternopil region.

Such a decision was made at a regional council meeting on Tuesday, November 6, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"The decision to impose a moratorium on the public use of Russian-language cultural products in any form on the territory of the Ternopil region until the complete cessation of Russia's occupation of Ukraine's territory was adopted at today's session. […] It will be made public on the website of the regional council," the regional council's spokesperson, Tetiana Tarasenko, told the news agency's correspondent on Tuesday.

In September 2018, a ban on the public use of Russian-language cultural products was introduced in Lviv region. The issue concerns the reproduction of any audiovisual works at entertainment establishments.

In late October 2018, a similar moratorium was introduced in Zhytomyr region.
