Ukraine Accuses 'White Lotus' Actor Miloš Biković of Supporting Russian War

Serbian actor, awarded by Putin and banned by Ukraine, denies supporting the conflict.

Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has accused Serbian actor Miloš Biković, who has been cast in HBO's 'The White Lotus' Season 3, of supporting Russia's war in Ukraine, a claim Biković has not publicly supported.
Biković, who received Russian citizenship in 2021, was awarded the Pushkin Medal for his contribution to Russian arts and culture by President Vladimir Putin in 2018.
Ukraine banned Biković from entering the country in 2019 due to national security concerns.
Biković expressed sadness over the war in Ukraine in a 2022 Instagram post, stating 'War and bloodshed on any side reminds us of how far humanity is from global unity and love.'
The Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs defended Biković, calling the accusations by Ukraine 'unfounded.'
