There will be no more theatrical film releases by Disney in Russia, at least for now, as the global company cites opposition to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
A Disney spokesperson said in a statement Monday that the company is concerned about the “massive humanitarian crisis” the invasion has unleashed in Europe.
The company is also working with non-governmental organizations to give aid and other humanitarian assistance to those displaced by the attack. Disney’s move comes amid a wave of international condemnation and crippling economic sanctions targeting Russia’s economy. On Tuesday, Warner Media announced it will pause the upcoming theatrical release of “The Batman” in Russia.
