The organizers of the international film festival, which is held every year in Cannes, refused to receive the Russian delegation.
The Organizing Committee made this decision to support Ukraine and condemn the hostile actions of the Russian authorities..
" We join those who oppose this intolerable situation and condemn the position of Russia and its leaders.
If the war does not end on terms that suit the Ukrainian people, then it has been decided that we will not invite Russian delegations and those associated with the government,"
The organizers of the festival also supported the Russians, who were not afraid and took to the rally against the war in Ukraine..
" Among them are filmmakers who did not stop fighting against the political regime, who do not want to be associated with these intolerable actions and those who are bombing Ukraine.. in a statement.
