Ban

In October 2014 the Ukrainian State Film Agency banned some Russian films, particularly Spetsnaz, for demonstration and distribution. According to the head of the agency Pylyp Illenko, that decision was caused by events in Ukraine which has made it "improper to show Russian films with obvious propaganda, for example, exaltation of Russian law enforcement and Russia itself, on Ukrainian TV channels now."[1]
