Alex Bornyakov, Ukraine's Deputy Minister of Digital Transformation, plans to send an official letter to Sony, Microsoft and Valve to request the ban. The Ukrainian government wants to ban Atomic Heart from digital stores in Ukraine. "We apologise if using the vintage cartoon or music has caused hurt or insult.


"The Mundfish team thanks the PC Gamer contributor for bringing this lack of sensitivity to our attention," the developer reportedly said. Whilst the footage wasn't directly designed by Mundfish – apparently, the cartoon concerned is a real Soviet Tom 'n' Jerry-esque animated series called Nu, Pogodli! that ran in Russia from the 60s – the studio apologised for "hurt and insult" caused by the offensive cartoon and said it will "edit the parts in question" after players discovered it in one of the game's save rooms.

Atomic Heart developer Mundfish has apologised after footage of a racist cartoon was found in its newly released shooter.
