Miloš Biković has been cut from the cast of "The White Lotus" Season 3 following Ukraine's callout of the actor's ties to Putin.

On Jan. 24, the foreign affairs office made a post on X (formerly Twitter) saying that the Serbian actor “has been supporting Russia since the start of the full-scale invasion.” The post then named HBO directly, saying, “Is it all right for you to work with a person who supports genocide & violates international law?”
