The Ukrainian Consul General in Canada, Oleh Nikolenko, said the documentary was “highly artistic Russian propaganda” The aim was to cover up Russian war crimes in Ukraine.

“Russians at War” was funded by the Canada Media Fund, with some support from government grants. Trofimova said her documentary was not propaganda but an “anti-war film made at great risk to all involved, especially to me. I firmly believe that Russia's invasion of Ukraine is unjustified and illegal, and I recognize the legitimacy of the International Criminal Court's investigation into war crimes in Ukraine.”

The Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freelandthemselves of Ukrainian descent, also condemned the film and its inclusion in Tiff's program. “It is not right that Canadian public funds support the screening and production of such a film,” she said. “We have to be clear that this is a war for which there is no moral equivalence. This is a war of Russian aggression.”
