Details
The department explains that the former employee of the Russia Today propaganda channel was included in this list, in particular, for the documentary film “Russians at War”, which she directed.
The Ministry of Culture also added that the film spreads Russian propaganda and demonstrates “unacceptable neutrality” regarding Russia’s war against Ukraine. The agency emphasized that the tape does not recognize the atrocities committed by the Russian Federation during the invasion.
It is noted that the tape promotes the idea that this war is a “conflict between two fraternal peoples” and that Russians are allegedly just as much its victims as Ukrainians.

Addition
The head of the Ministry of Culture, Mykola Tochytsky, is convinced that cases similar to Trofimova’s activities are part of a wider information war, which the Russian Federation is waging, trying to justify its aggression through culture and the media.
We fight against the promotion of false narratives and manipulations that try to replace the truth and remove responsibility from the aggressor. Ukraine consistently works to ensure that Russian propaganda cannot penetrate into cultural platforms both inside the country and abroad, defending the truth about war and freedom
We will remind
