On Thursday, April 2, a pre-premiere screening of the Ukrainian adventure action film *On the Drive* took place at the Ukraine Palace. The event was not without its share of awkward moments, according to *Glavkom*.
Incident at the "On the Drive" screening
One of the film’s partners was the Telegram channel “Trukha.” During the screening, “Suspilne” host Viktor Dyachenko shouted from the audience, “Trukha—yuck,” after which event host Yevhen Yanovych invited him to come on stage to repeat his words publicly.
On stage, Dyachenko stated: “Trukha – yuck. All conscious Ukrainians know that this so-called media outlet is actually ‘trukha.’ At the start of the war, this channel helped guide missiles toward Ukrainian homes.” His words were met with applause and cheers from the audience.
