The artist shared what problems she had because of this decision.
Hollywood actress from Ukraine Ivanna Sakhno for the first time said that she had terminated the contract with Netflix.
Sakhno gave an interview to Marichka Padalko, in which toldthat she was approved for the role of an American from the Soviet Union even during the Covid-19 pandemic:
“My team even knows, immediately says no. I had a moment, I was involved in a Netflix series. It was during covid. It was the role of a Russian woman. It was an American role, but she had a background from the Soviet Union. I was already attached to this project because at that time it was one of the first major roles in a major Netflix series. We didn’t start filming, we immediately closed due to covid. And I realized that I cannot play a person, even from the Soviet Union. I canceled my contract with Netflix. I had some problems,” said Sakhno.

The actress shared that she mightn’t say how much of the fine Netflix now owes because of her decision, but shared that for the next work she does with Netflix, she owes 50 percent of her salary.
Sakhno also emphasized that she would never agree to play a Russian woman because of her moral values. The actress noted that now Russia is being represented less and less in Hollywood.
