Source: Zipulya

Zipulya, a Kyiv rapper and blogger whose real name is Andriy Posysaev, has been mobilized into the Ukrainian military, according to a post on his Instagram page.

“Andriy was illegally mobilized. He ‘passed’ the VLK [military medical commission] in five minutes — fit for duty. He attended a boarding school for children with developmental delays. Unfortunately, he was unable to obtain disability status or a diagnosis … No one is taking this into account!” the post said.

Zipulya became known online for songs such as Nu nichego strashnogo, tyau-tyau-tyau (“Well, Nothing Terrible, Tyau-Tyau-Tyau,” a phrase that became a meme in its own right), Rybaki vnizu lovyat okunya (“Fishermen Below Are Catching Perch”), and Zanimayus sportom ya (“I’m Playing Sports”).
