 Amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has decided to disqualify the entries funded by the Russian Government for Emmys 2022.

As per The Hollywood Reporter, on Thursday, NATAS released a statement about the body’s decision of discontinuing its business with Vladimir Putin-led country.

“Like countless individuals and organizations worldwide, NATAS has been appalled by Russia’s unprecedented and unprovoked attack on the sovereign territory of Ukraine,” read a statement Thursday from chairman Terry O’Reilly, whose group oversees the Daytime Emmys, along with those for sports, news, docs, tech and engineering.
