Russian songs top Ukrainian charts, again

obozrevatel.com (Ukrainian)

Russian tracks have again topped Ukrainian music charts, with a Russian song currently holding the number one spot on Apple Music Ukraine. This follows a similar incident last week, raising concerns. The song "Fake ID" by Russian rappers Kizaru and Icegergert is currently at the top, while Russian artists also dominate the Spotify Ukraine top three. Kizaru has a controversial past and has avoided condemning Russia's actions in the war. This situation highlights the financial support Ukrainian listeners inadvertently provide to Russian artists, potentially normalizing enemy culture amidst the ongoing war. The popularity of these tracks also creates a misleading impression of the conflict.
