There won't be a movie. Disney, Sony, and Warner Bros. have suspended film screenings in Russia. And Netflix refused to broadcast Russian channels

The Walt Disney Company has suspended the supply of its films to Russian cinemas. A similar decision was taken by Sony. Warner Bros. suspended the release of the film "Batman", scheduled for tomorrow, March 2. And Netflix has refused to broadcast 20 Russian TV channels.

Disney includes Pixar, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, 20th Century Studios and other movie studios.

"Given the unprovoked infiltration of Ukraine and the tragic humanitarian crisis, we are suspending the release of distribution films in Russia, including Pixar's upcoming "I'm Blushing." We will make further decisions depending on the situation," the company said in a statement on Twitter. The company is working to provide humanitarian aid to Ukraine.

A similar decision was made by the film company Sony. Warner Bros. has suspended the release of the "Batman" film scheduled for tomorrow, March 2. "In light of the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, WarnerMedia is suspending the release of its feature film "Batman" in Russia," the company said in a statement (quoted by Deadline).

And streaming service Netflix will not broadcast 20 Russian federal TV channels, contrary to Russian law, which obliges it to do so from March 1. A representative of the service told Variety magazine. "Given the current situation, we have no plans to add these channels to our service," he said. Netflix did not give other details. The decision comes against the backdrop of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, which began on Feb. 24. Its goal is stated as the prevention of genocide among the inhabitants of Donbass and the fight against the spread of nationalist ideology in the country. Russia's permanent representative to the UN said that the occupation of Ukraine was not part of Russia's plans. Yesterday a UN spokesman reported that at least 102 civilians were killed and 304 wounded in Ukraine after the start of the Russian military special operation. This included the deaths of seven children. Yesterday, the first round of peace talks was held at the Ukraine-Belarus border. The head of the Russian delegation, Medinsky, reported that the sides "found common ground." It is not yet reported when and where the second round of talks will take place.
