The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry issued a statement on Monday saying, "This is a disgrace and an insult to the victims of Ukrainian actors and filmmakers who were killed or wounded by Russian war criminals during the Russian aggression against Ukraine." The ministry also added: "By participating in a festival that unites Putin's supporters and mouthpieces, Allen is deliberately turning a blind eye to the atrocities that Russia has been committing in Ukraine every day for 11 years. Culture should never be used to wash away sins or as propaganda tools."
