List of films about the Russo-Ukrainian war

The depiction of the Russo-Ukrainian War in cinema has become an important phenomenon of modern Ukrainian cinema. It has been described by film journalists and Ukrainians as not only a form of artistic expression, but also a means of understanding events, maintaining public spirit and morale, coping with trauma, and a tool for informing the world about the tragedies, heroism, and struggle of the Ukrainian people as a result of the Russian invasion of the territory of Ukraine since the Spring of 2014.

Two films about the war won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature: 20 Days in Mariupol in 2024 and Mr Nobody Against Putin in 2026.

Animation

  • During the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the 160th episode (called "Vakidzasi") of the animated series "Masyanya" was released. This episode was dedicated to the war between Russia and Ukraine, featuring real photos of the destruction in Ukraine committed by Russian troops. According to the plot, Masyanya (the main character of the cartoon series) comes to Putin and tells him that many peaceful and good people died because of the latter people. He then gives Putin a wakizashi (Japanese short sword) and tells him that this sword is for the only good decision in his life (indicating that Putin should kill himself), leading to his subsequent suicide. After the release of the cartoon, the Roskomnadzor sent the cartoon's creator Oleg Kuvaev a message about blocking the site mult.ru, which had published all the episodes of the series since 2001. Subsequently, Kuvaev released the following series: "How to explain to children" (about how to tell children about the war)", and "" (the tragedy of Mariupol, where the action is transferred to St. Petersburg, which is attacked by the forces of the People's Republic of China).
  • On September 9, 2022, the animated video "Life and Death" was released on the YouTube channel "Volunteer Animation of Ukraine". The animation describes the ordinary life of an ordinary Russian soldier who came to occupy the territory of Ukraine.
