Jeff Monson said the project is close to completion
Former UFC fighter Jeff Monson has revealed that his film about the plight of the people of Donbass is close to being completed.
Monson, who was born in the US but was granted Russian citizenship in 2018, has accused the world of “forgetting” about the local population in the region as they suffered eight years of conflict with the regime in Kiev.
“The film is called ‘Eight Years Before’… It’s actually going to be finished at the end of the month… we’ve finished filming, we’re doing the editing, it’s almost finished, it’s two weeks away from being completely finished,” Monson told RIA Novosti.
“The whole object of this film is to show people, the whole world forgot about the people of Donbass.
“Everybody six months ago was saying, ‘Oh, Russia’s so bad, Russia’s invading Ukraine.’
“No, Russia came to save the people of Donbass. And people are like, ‘Where’s Donbass, where’s Donetsk?’ Nobody in the world, expect perhaps Russia, understood what was happening.”
Monson, 51, is a veteran of almost 90 professional MMA contests and has fought under the banner of promotions such as the UFC, Strikeforce, PRIDE, and Cage Warriors.
