Earlier, Yurchyshyn personally wrote an appeal to the SBU.
According to him, the director, who now lives in Canada, made her film at the expense of Canadian taxpayers. The MP emphasized that the Canadian parliamentary committee on national security recognized that the state cannot finance such films.
We want to achieve a harsher punishment for violating Ukrainian law. And it is Ukraine that should be the first to initiate a case against Trofimova. Today I found out that at my request, the Security Service of Ukraine initiated a pre-trial investigation in criminal proceedings on the grounds of Part 3 of Article 436-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (justification and recognition of the legitimacy of Russian aggression)
