The world-famous film director Lars von Trier just made a scandalous statement “Russian Lives Matter also” (“Russian Lives Matter also” – a reference to “Black Lives Matter” – a political and social movement that aims to highlight racism, discrimination and racial inequality , what black people experience. -ed.), commenting on a photo of Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.
We are talking about the photograph where Mette Frederiksen and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are sitting in the cockpit of an F-16 fighter jet. Denmark announced last week that it will transfer this type of aircraft to Ukraine.
On his Twitter, Oleksiy Danilov urged Trier to imagine a situation where his mother, father, wife, other relatives or hometown are maimed, raped or killed by a Russian missile or a Russian soldier.
“In this case, the hypocritical abstraction of “humanism” acquires completely different features – real life, not fictional life,” said Danilov.
He reminded that real war is not about cinema, where actors, playing life and death, only pretend to be in pain. “Now every living occupier is a living Ukrainian murderer, not an “abstraction” of cinema,” said Danilov, noting that one should not side with the “executioner” in such matters.
War is not a movie where actors play life and death. Behind every living russian terrorist, there is a dead Ukrainian. The choice between the executioner and the victim becomes a tragedy when the artist chooses the side of the executioner.

“The choice between the executioner and the victim becomes a tragedy when the artist chooses to side with the executioner. Ukraine does not live in an abstraction, but in a cruel reality where Russians are murderers,” said Danilov.
