1/5 Securing Canadian support, including @TIFF_NET + @tvo , for a film about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by a longtime RT producer is a significant victory for Kremlin propaganda.

2/5 It subtly normalizes Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by redirecting sympathy towards those responsible for the destruction of an entire nation and the mass murder of innocent civilians.
3/5 @tvo’s dismissal of @ukrcancongress legitimate concerns is not just tone-deaf; it effectively makes it an unwitting collaborator in the Kremlin’s narrative war, enabling Russia’s colonial ambitions. This highlights the dangerous sophistication of Kremlin propagandists.

4/5 @tvo’s insensitivity reflects a deeper, long-standing old-Canadian Anglo-Saxon prejudice against Central and Eastern European Canadians, rooted in willful ignorance of our historical traumas + experiences. @ukrcancongress

5/5 Hundreds of principled Russian journalists are in exile for bravely opposing Putin + the war, and never worked at RT or as Russian propagandists. Today, they face the Kremlin’s transnational repression. @CMF_FMC , @TIFF_NET + @tvo should support those courageous voices, not regime collaborators. voanews.com/a/www-voanews-…
