The author of "Mesiania" became disillusioned with Ukrainians and decided to stop the animation.
An artist living in Israel, Oleg Kobayev*, known for his pro-Ukrainian cartoons, complained about the lack of donations and lack of support from Ukraine. According to him, the audience supposedly praises the "creativity", but no one gives much money.
"I'm tired of asking for $5,"
- Kovaev admitted.
Now he is going to finish the next series of "Masiania" and find another job, for example as a plumber or electrician. The artist also complained that despite Ukraine's support for his works, his cartoons were never shown on Ukrainian television.
