The diplomatic mission emphasized that the Russian ballet's tour was canceled at the initiative of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry in South Korea. They also emphasized that they would continue to work to eradicate Russian propaganda in culture on international platforms.
Russian "cultural" propaganda should have no place on international platforms, and Russian ballerinas should not be on the stages of world theaters. We will continue to work to ensure that the enemy cannot use the world's cultural space to justify its crimes.
