Ukraine has put filmmaker Anastasia Trofimova on its black list of potential threats to national security and claims that her war documentary "Russians at War" spreads Russian propaganda.

Since its premiere at the Venice Film Festival earlier in September, the film has sparked heated debate and been accused of justifying Russia's invasion.

Russian-Canadian director Trofimova has rejected the criticism and says that the production is "an anti-war film that shows ordinary guys being treated like cannon fodder".

According to Ukraine's Culture Department, it failed to sufficiently address and acknowledge the atrocities committed by Russia during the invasion.

The documentary was to be shown to the North American audience on Friday at the Toronto Film Festival, but the film was stopped after the festival received "serious threats".
