From the Animation Film Association Forum Facebook group page:

“We’re convinced that war brings nothing but death, pain, and destruction. And nothing can justify it.

“The animation community of Ukrainian and Russian animation filmmakers is united and inseparable, we have been working together, watching each other’s films for many years. The art of animation is also an art, that helps people feel like people. Not to kill, not to destroy. To unite.

“And today our children, brothers are sent to kill those with whom they recently played in the same yard and watched the same cartoons, without distinguishing whether they are Russian or Ukrainian ones.

“Animation and art, in general, have always been imbued with anti-war spirit. We believe that today’s military actions are directed not just at our Ukrainian friends and colleagues, but against all people, humanity, and Man as a whole.

“We are against war. We want the words about the brotherly people not to turn into a bloody nightmare. There is no excuse for bombing and killing!”
