The Cannes Film Festival has become the latest organization to announce a boycott against Russia in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine as dozens of company’s across the globe seek to distance themselves from Moscow.

The organization issued a statement on Tuesday stating that it would no longer be welcoming any Russian delegations or anyone connected to the Russian government to its 2022 edition in May “unless the war of assault ends in conditions that will satisfy the Ukrainian people.”
