In turn, Cmoc noted that “Cultural resistance and the struggle for cultural identity are, as we know, crucial factors that Ukraine is fighting for, and we all strive to protect them”.

The minister stressed that the Russian praganda machine in its information war against the civilized world is trying to use all means, including cinema, to distort reality.

In this context, Tochytskyi highlighted the importance of claborative efforts with Canadian partners to prevent the creation and distribution of products at international film festivals that justify the aggressor's crimes under the guise of "a deeper understanding of the war."

As reported by Ukrinform, Ukrainian MPs have called on their Canadian counterparts to prevent the screening of Russian-Canadian director Anastasia Trofimova's praganda film "Russians at War" at the Toronto International Film Festival.
