USA TODAY has reached out to reps for HBO and Biković.

Despite the claims from Ukraine’s foreign ministry, Biković spoke out about the war in February 2022.

"I wish there were no wars... Naive, I know. I was 3 years old when war broke out in my country. I was 5 when the other one got loose. I was 11 when we got bombed. I know how terrible war is," he wrote on Instagram in Russian and Serbian. "We've been through a similar situation, but they can't be compared. Every conflict has its own circumstances."

Biković added that war "reminds us of how far humanity is from global unity and love."
