Ban

In October 2014 the State Agency of Ukraine for Cinema have banned some Russian films, particularly "Spetsnaz", for demonstration and distribution. According to the head of agency Pylyp Illenko that decision was caused by events in Ukraine which has made it "improper to show Russian films with obvious propaganda, for example, exaltation of Russian law enforcement and Russia itself, on Ukrainian TV channels now."[1]
