🔥⚖️ The mayor of Drohobych, Taras Kuchma, tried to obtain a court order to remove a satirical song that accused him of embezzling budget funds. The composition was created using artificial intelligence by local activist Oleg Balog. However, the Drohobych court denied his request.
In January 2026, Oleg Balog published a song about the mayor’s actions. In it, the author accused Kuchma of corruption, embezzling budget funds, and appointing people he called thieves to positions. The official demanded a retraction of the accusations and 20 thousand hryvnias in moral damages, but the court sided with the activist.
The composition included the following lyrics: "Kuchma, don’t steal, don’t fool the community, you placed thieves, parasites in positions, you embezzle millions from the budget."
According to the activist, the impetus for the creative work was his outrage at Kuchma’s actions during the formation of the Drohobych community budget for the 2026 year.
