The BBC is reporting Ukraine’s parliament has voted in favour of banning some Russian music in media and public spaces.
The ban will not apply to all Russian music.
The bill, approved by MPs on Sunday, bans some Russian music from being played or performed on television, radio, schools, public transport, hotels, restaurants, cinemas and other public spaces.
It secured support from 303 of the 450 deputies in the Ukrainian parliament.
It relates to music created or performed by those who are or were Russian citizens after 1991.
Artists who have condemned Russia’s war in Ukraine can apply for an exemption from the ban.
The import of books from Russia and Belarus will also be prohibited under the legislation.
