Russian screenwriters have signed an open letter regarding the situation in Ukraine.

“We are forbidden to use the word "War". We can use the word "Mir" (Peace/World). The peace of Ukraine is being destroyed. The world of an independent sovereign state is now under fire. The Russian world is collapsing. The world that has already come to our country and will come in the near and distant future is a world of isolation, a world of economic, cultural and humanitarian catastrophe. Disasters for those who "disagree", and for those who support the military special operation. We, the screenwriters of the Russian Federation, call for the sake of our common peace to stop hostilities and find words for dialogue and negotiations.”
