“Attempts to explain these events as an operation, which is funded by the United States, are not only false, but also completely disrespectful to our fellow citizens killed in the center of Kiev while defending the democratic aspirations of their country. This is not media pluralism, but deception, and we advise Canal + to reconsider the possibility of distributing this film ",
