The decision comes more than a week after Ukraines Ministry of Foreign Affairscalled out HBOover the casting of Bikovic.
The result of such a narrative is the triumph of absurdity and the defeat of art, he said.
Recalling growing up during the 1990s Yugoslav wars, Bikovic shared a similar sentiment in his statement today.

There is no public record of Bikovic supporting Kremlins invasion of Ukraine.
Denouncing Russias actions in Ukraine couldve protected his shot at a Hollywood career at a great personal risk.
Here is Bikovics full statement:
I grew up in a war-torn country.
And could never wish such devastation on anyone.There are more and more active conflicts in the entire world.
Each one is different.
Each one is heartbreaking.
I believe it can help humanity unite.
My beliefs and my dedication to art will remain unchanged.
