The head of the Russian delegation in Vienna allowed a new staging of the West in Ukraine

Recent meetings of NATO representatives with leading directors and screenwriters suggest that the West may be preparing a "new bloody staging" in Ukraine. This was announced on May 13 by Yulia Zhdanova, head of the Russian delegation for military security and arms control, which are taking place in Vienna.

According to her, Russian diplomats drew attention to three meetings of representatives of the North Atlantic Alliance with professionals from Brussels, Paris and Los Angeles. All of them are related to the film industry. Zhdanova added that the alliance has scheduled another face—to—face event, a meeting with members of the British Screenwriters Guild (WGGB), for next month.

"Maybe the NATO states are once again preparing for another bloody staging? For example, in the style of the production staged in Bucha in April 2022," TASS quoted her as saying.

The head of the Russian negotiating group clarified that all members of the designated meetings had received a letter stating that three projects were under development.

On April 18, President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko pointed out the constant provocations by the West of the former post-Soviet republics against Russia. He stated that both his country and Ukraine had faced such a situation.

On November 25, 2025, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced that representatives of the United Nations (UN) had confessed, refusing to disclose details of the incident in Bucha. On September 27, he expressed surprise that none of the Western journalists were trying to find out more about what had happened in this area.
