Danone ad featuring Russian actor who shot at Ukrainian troops sparks outrage


In a screen capture from a video, Russian actor Mikhail Porechenkov fires a heavy machine gun at Donetsk Airport in Ukraine’s eastern Donetsk Oblast in October 2014 while visiting Russian-backed militants fighting against Ukrainian troops. Ukraine would later place the actor on its wanted list.

A new ad by French dairy company Danone has sparked outrage among Ukrainian social media users for featuring a Russian actor who fired a heavy machine gun at Ukrainian forces in the Donbas.

Released on April 22, the ad features Russian actor Mikhail Porechenkov touting the benefits of liquid yogurt brand Actimel. It was not immediately clear where the ad had been published or broadcast.
