The lyrics take an anti-EU stance, and the name of the song translates to I'll Teach You. A year later the head of the Belarusian broadcaster admitted the song was about the EU. Do you agree with the decision?
In 2021 Belarus was banned from Eurovision because they sent this song because it was too political.

So this is too political, but Ukrainian singer with a song about Crimean Tatars is fine. Mhhhm.

I personally, while I agree with the message of the song, get why Eurovision made the decision. Songs must be non-political, and non-political in the sense that they shouldn't be made for certain politicians or ideologies. But still I wish this song would've been performed at Eurovision, even if all the European libs would boo it.

The problem lies in the fact that this "non-political" rule is applied incredibly asymmetrically.

That's true, I'm aware of that. It's hypocritical
