A statement posted in the last few minutes said Pact has removed all Russian production and business information from its website in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which is into its fifth day.
The statement came in the same hour that Mip TV owner RX France effectively ended its Russian presence at the market, while Lille’s Series Mania has barred Russian TV organization Roskino.
