Служба безпеки України скерувала до суду обвинувачення щодо режисера «Бандитського Петербурга» Володимира Бортка, який закликав ударити по Україні ядерною зброєю. — Укрінформ.
It is noted that the SBU investigators have sent the indictment to the court. The attacker faces up to 8 years in prison with confiscation of property.
The SBU reminded that Bortko is known for the Russian TV series "Gangster Petersburg" and "Streets of Broken Lanterns". He combined his work in cinema with the political support of the Kremlin regime.
During the investigation, the Security Service officers documented numerous episodes of his provocative speeches during 2017–2026.
Thus, on the radio "Komsomolskaya Pravda", he once again called for a nuclear strike on Ukraine. In addition, he campaigned to seize Kyiv, and then the entire territory of our state.
Based on the evidence collected, Bortko is charged under two articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine: Art. 436-2 (production and distribution of materials that justify, recognize as legitimate or deny Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine, committed repeatedly and using the media).
"The Security Service has completed a pre-trial investigation into Russian film director, screenwriter and ex-deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Volodymyr Bortko, who promotes the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine," the report says.
As the investigation found out, the defendant publicly calls for the continuation of the war, denies Ukrainian statehood and agitates to use tactical nuclear weapons against our state.
