“I have not formed any opinion on this matter, except for what I have already said - I observe the tragic events in my beloved Ukraine with compassion,” Konchalovsky was quoted by RIA Novosti.
According to him, cases of "historical blinding of huge masses of people" are known, and insight is inevitable.
