“The Soyuzmultfilm Cartoons Youtube channel, to which the authors of the messages refer, is not the official channel of the film studio,” the film studio told RBC.

In addition, the company pointed out that Soyuzmultfilm's official YouTube channel does not host the classic content of the film studio, which since 2020 has been focused on Okko, Kinopoisk and PREMIER video services. “On these resources, the animated film “Treasures of Sunken Ships” is freely available,” they added.

The Verkhovna Rada adopted a law banning the symbols Z and V Politics

The letters Z and V are depicted on Russian vehicles that are involved in the military operation in Ukraine. The Ministry of Defense stated that these symbols mean “For victory”, “Force V for truth” and “The task will be completed”. Supporters of the operation and authorities began to use these symbols in everyday life, for example, in the names of their social media accounts.

Earlier, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine adopted a law banning the symbols Z and V. After the entry into force of the law, the symbols cannot be used "without a legitimate context or in the context of justifying" Russia's actions in Ukraine or any other military actions. The use of this symbolism will be considered illegal on any advertising media, in places of mass events, in campaign materials (with the exception of campaigning against military operations on the territory of Ukraine) and in any works (films, TV shows, video blogs) created after February 24, as well as on clothing or vehicles.

RUSSIA has been conducting a military operation in Ukraine since February 24. Its goal is called the “demilitarization and denazification” of the neighboring state, as well as the protection of the population of the DPR and LPR from “genocide by the Kyiv regime.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky responded by imposing martial law and severing diplomatic relations with Moscow.
