German agency halts controversial Russian media campaign over use of Ukrainian war victims’ photos
The campaign aimed at supporting exiled Russian journalists featured a photo of Ukrainian Yaroslav Bazylevych at the funeral, mourning his wife and three daughters killed in a Russian missile strike in 2024. Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs reacted, saying "a special “award” for marketing cynicism and hypocrisy should be given to the Lure agency from Berlin."
