However, I now see a video of Ukrainian borscht being prepared with Russian music by a well-known American culinary YouTuber, ChefRush.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that this kind of cultural appropriation is inappropriate in general, and especially in the context of the ongoing war, where Russia continues its aggression against Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the video link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/ihMzIhh2lxI\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/ihMzIhh2lxI<\/a> \u2014 it already has around 2.6 million views.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps this is something that Ukrainian cultural authorities, including the Ministry of Culture, should also pay attention to.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON --><br \/>\n<br \/>&#8212;<br \/>\nYaroslavPodorvanov<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hello, borscht is a Ukrainian dish, and on July 1, 2022, the culture of cooking Ukrainian borscht was&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":95850,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[68],"tags":[77],"class_list":{"0":"post-95849","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ukraine","8":"tag-ukraine"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@forums\/116308676651821264","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95849","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=95849"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/95849\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/95850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=95849"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=95849"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/forums\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=95849"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
