Russian director Andrei Zvyagintsev, winner of the Grand Prix at the 79th Cannes Film Festival for “Minotaur,” addressed Vladimir Putin from the stage. This is what he said.

And the only person who can stop this meat grinder is you, Mr. President of the Russian Federation. They ended this massacre already. The whole world is waiting for this.
