The second season of 'Emily In Paris' has not gone down well with the people of Ukraine. The series premiered its second season in December 2021 on Netflix, and it has been accussed of cultural appropriation.&nbsp; 
 
Multiple news reports state that Ukraine's culture minister has complained to the OTT platform over the portrayal of a character from Kyiv in the show.&nbsp;

The minister has reportedly sent a letter to streaming service complaining about the portrayal of Petra.&nbsp; 
A few seem to be echoing Tkachenko's thoughts.&nbsp; 
 
"The way you treated the image of Ukrainians in your second season, 4th episode is such a low-cost trick, absolute scandal and a shame," Yevheniya Havrylk, an Ukrainian in Paris wrote in an Instagram post, which has had more than 75,000 likes. 
 
There are others who have spoken in defence of the show. Ukrainian film producer Natalka Yakymovych said, "So in a TV series, negative characters can be anything but Ukrainian? Obviously, we all would like her to be from Moscow, but you don't always get what you want."

Ukraine Tensions: Biden and Putin hold 50-minute phone call

Russia will be forced to take necessary measures to eliminate unacceptable threats if the United States and NATO don’t respond to Moscow’s security proposals, Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said on Friday.

“If a constructive response does not follow within a reasonable time and the West continues its aggressive line, then Russia will be forced to take all necessary measures to ensure a strategic balance and eliminate unacceptable threats to our security,” Lavrov told news agency Sputnik.

The remarks came hours after Russian President Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Joe Biden spoke over phone, where the two focused on the security guarantee talks set for early January 2022 amid simmering tensions over Ukraine.

The security guarantees talks will be held in three formats: between Russia and the US in Geneva on 10 January, followed by a Russia-NATO Council meeting on 12 January, and Russia-OSCE consultations on 13 January.

Lavrov said that Washington and its allies are currently reviewing Russia’s proposals.

The security guarantee documents demand that NATO deny membership to Ukraine and other former Soviet countries and roll back its military deployments in Central and Eastern Europe.

However, US and its allies refused to consider Russia's demand on Ukraine, citing NATO’s principle that membership is open to any qualifying country.
