Zelensky imposed sanctions on the creators of the cartoon “Masha and the Bear” and banned the cartoon from being broadcast in Ukraine.
“The series spreads pro-Russian narratives disguised as children’s content and poses a threat to Ukraine’s national security,” the statement on the website of the Ukrainian president says.
A Security Threat in Cartoon Form
The cartoon's creators were sanctioned, and its broadcast was banned.
National security apparently now patrols children's TV.
