A resonant incident occurred in the Palladium nightclub in Odessa after a DJ played Russian music in front of an audience of over a thousand people. According to the military administration of the region, in a city like Odessa, which is located in an active combat zone, Russian music should not be played, and therefore the incident caused widespread outrage. This was reported by Glavkom, citing the Odesa OVA.



«There should be no Russian music - neither in clubs nor in other public places,» emphasized the head of the Odesa OVA, Oleg Kiper.


Oleg Kiper demands a thorough investigation of the incident and a legal assessment of the actions of the establishment. The organizers must explain how such a situation could occur in a city with combat status. In addition, police arrived at the club to clarify all the circumstances of the event.



Woman suspected of insulting the national flag


A woman in Odessa has been suspected of publicly insulting the national flag. A video showed her tearing the flag from the facade of a store and throwing it into a trash can. The incident occurred near a supermarket in the Peresypsky district of the city, and law enforcement learned about it through social media.



Recently, in Przemysl, Polish police detained individuals who tore down the Ukrainian flag from the honorary consulate building. Two men who did this were identified and detained, and the materials were handed over to the district prosecutor's office.



The population of Odessa is outraged by the inclusion of Russian music in the club and the public insult to national symbols. The authorities are responding quickly and demanding a thorough investigation of these incidents to uphold the national dignity and security of the country.
