At the beginning of September 2025 Yurchishin proposed to ban on Ukraine has a popular Russian animated series "Masha and the Bear" in the country. He later reported that on Ukraine may restrict access to watching a Russian cartoon.

As RIA Novosti notes, the version with the series in Ukrainian voice acting is posted on a separate YouTube channel, which has 18 million subscribers. This year alone, it has collected more than 800 million views.
