Ukrainian officials request TIFF to withdraw the documentary "Russians at War", claiming it whitewashes Russian soldiers' responsibility for war crimes in Ukraine.
Ukrainian Consul General Oleh Nikolenko stressed the irresponsibility of allowing TIFF to present a film that could absolve Russian soldiers of their war crimes.
Director Anastasia Trofimova asserted her film is antiwar and indicates the risks taken to document soldiers' disillusionment with false narratives of the war.
Nikolenko expressed doubts about the legality of the filming, stating that without legal permissions, TIFF may become complicit in the ongoing conflict.
