Thank you Diane for reporting on this very important matter. I totally support the Ukrainian initiative and will inform my friends accordingly.

WOW - I feel 'blind sided' - THIS is outrageous - The Academy better pull up its values just as the Olympic Federation must as well to 'send the message that NO terrorist country or leader need apply'!!! THAT is how you create a safe world - not appeasing or turning away from terrorist activities right under their nose & doing (saying) NOTHING~

Me too, blindsided and it looks like the Russian has signed up to taint all the future "Mission Impossibles" and "Coming to America2".

I hope Sean Penn has a few words with Tommy - Mr. Cruise better pick a better funding platform, if you will. I am so disgusted with the infiltration of RU that's accepted because of big $$$ offered. Wow - where's the loyalty!!!?

Good article but why the mention of Trump? He sold the property to the Russian 17 years ago and the Russian flipped it for a $10mm profit. And is the Russian "Russian"? It appears that he was forced to sell his holdings and flee Russia 13 years ago. Most recently he has firmly come out in support of Ukraine with a "significant" donation to Ukraine humanitarian relief charities. https://newsrnd.com/sports/2022-03-09-war-in-ukraine--the-russian-owner-of-as-monaco--dmitri-rybolovlev--supports-humanitarian-aid-with-a-donation.rkkshL8W5.html And finally, doesnt the movie raise the bar by making the updated antagonist the Communist Chinese? Yes, there is an error by omission re: the Russians but who looks to Hollywood for veracity? For many, this is the first Hollywho movie that has been watched in years and its because of its anti communist message.
