Earlier, he wrote “The lives of Russians are also important”, commenting on the delivery of F-16 fighter jets to Kyiv.
On his Twitter, Danilov wrote that war is not a movie where actors play life and death, but behind every “living Russian terrorist there is a killed Ukrainian.”

The choice between the executioner and the victim becomes a tragedy when the artist chooses the side of the executioner. Ukraine does not live in an abstraction, but in a cruel reality in which the Russians are murderers. A simple piece of advice to a well-known director: imagine that a Russian rocket flies into his city every day, that his father or mother was killed, his grandson was taken to Russia, and a Russian marauder raped his wife and burned down his house. In this case, the abstraction of hypocritical “humanism” acquires completely different features – real, not fictional life, Danilov said.
The day before, Trier posted on Instagram an appeal to the presidents of Ukraine and Russia, as well as the Prime Minister of Denmark.
By the way: to Mr. Zelensky and Mr. Putin, and last but not least, Mrs. Frederiksen (who yesterday, as if up to her ears, posed in the cockpit of one of the most terrible killing machines of our time, smiling from ear to ear): “The life of Russians is also important! Best regards, Lars,” it said.
Thus, the director reacted to the information that Denmark and the Netherlands will transfer American F-16 fighters to Ukraine after the training of Ukrainian pilots is completed.
