"This is illegal, because it, like any other cinema in Russia, has no permission to show either Hollywood blockbusters or Ukrainian films." "A Russian cinema illegally posted on its website the announcement of the premiere of the Universal Pictures 'The Super Mario Bros Movie' and indicated that it would be shown before Mavka screenings. "Russia is stealing cartoons," the movie's creators write. Mavka is a story based on famous Ukrainian poet Lesia Ukrainka's work The Forest Song, and the film was created by Ukraine's Animigrad Studios.

The movie's creators have highlighted that the Russian screening includes not only their Ukrainian hit, which currently stands as the top-grossing Ukrainian film ever, but also the widely popular The Super Mario Bros Movie from Hollywood.

Russia has organised a screening of the Ukrainian animated picture Mavka: The Forest Song, despite lacking distribution rights, according to the movie's official Facebook page. Ukraine has thus far managed to bring back 371 illegally deported children, and the process is ongoing. On 27 April, PACE adopted a resolution recognising Lukashenko as potentially complicit in Russia's forced deportation of Ukrainian children during the ongoing conflict.Īccording to a Ukrainian national database, since the start of the invasion, over 19,000 children have been abducted by Russia, while thousands remain unaccounted for.

Ukraine's Prosecutor General's Office is currently investigating Belarus' potential role in the illegal transfer of Ukrainian children from Russian-occupied territories, according to Reuters news agency.Ī report from exiled Belarusian opposition members alleges that 2,150 Ukrainian children, including orphans aged between six and 15, were taken to recreation camps and sanatoriums in Belarus against their will.

Ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets has reportedly confirmed that Ukrainian prisoners of war and abducted children were transferred through Belarus. In the aftermath of the invasion, eastern EU countries such as Poland criticised Macron for keeping communication channels open with the Russian president, or for saying that Russia should not be "humiliated" in the course of international efforts to end the Ukraine war. He also acknowledged that France should have paid more attention to eastern European nations, which warned about a belligerent Russia before Moscow's forces invaded Ukraine.

He said: "If in a few months to come you have a window for negotiations with the existing Russian political power, the question will be an arbitrage between a trial and a negotiation. Speaking at the Globsec Forum in Bratislava, Emmanuel Macron spoke about the need to support Ukraine in its counter-offensive and the need to negotiate with Russia.

The French president has said in a few months time if we have a "window" for negotiations the question will be "arbitrage between a trial and negotiation" and he thinks negotiating will be a "priority".
