EU Court Denies Ukraine's Trademark Bid for Anti-Russian Slogan

TL;DR Summary
An EU court has ruled that Ukraine cannot trademark the phrase "Russian warship, go f**k yourself," as it is considered a political slogan rather than a commercial trademark. The phrase, which originated from a defiant response by Ukrainian soldiers on Snake Island during Russia's invasion, has become a symbol of Ukrainian resistance. The court determined that the phrase's political significance outweighs its potential commercial use, as consumers would perceive it as a political message.
