Screening of propaganda film Carnets de Russie canceled in Belgium

Belgium has canceled the screening of the propaganda documentary "Carnets de Russie" ("Notes from Russia") in Brussels. About it reported ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The screening was canceled after the Ukrainian side responded and the competent municipal authorities reviewed the issues raised. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs thanked the Belgian partners for their responsibility, constructive cooperation and solidarity with Ukraine.

"As long as Russia's military aggression against Ukraine continues, protecting the public information space from disinformation is extremely important," the agency emphasized.

The Ukrainian Embassy in Belgium reported that the screening of the film by French documentary filmmaker and videographer Vincent Moon was scheduled for January 31. At the same time, public events organized by Kairos Presse were to take place: the conference Les nouvelles formas du pouvoir ("New Forms of Power") and related events aimed at "broad public awareness."

At the embassy emphasizedthe film "Carnets de Russie" is a propaganda film that serves the information interests of the Russian Federation in the context of its military aggression against Ukraine. It was filmed during trips to Russia and the temporarily occupied Ukrainian territories.

"The film deliberately distorts the actual reality, justifies the act of aggression, conceals responsibility for documented war crimes and systematically blurs the line between the victim and the aggressor."
