NEWS ITEM: Mikhail Porechenkov, a Russian actor, starred in an ad for French dairy firm Danone, endorsing its yogurt Actimel, which is branded as an immunity-boosting drink. The ad sparked outrage among Ukrainian social media users who blamed the international company for featuring Porechenkov, who is an active supporter of Russian-backed militants in eastern Ukraine and the Kremlin’s invasion and annexation of Crimea. Porechenkov even fired a heavy machine gun at Ukrainian forces in the Donbas in 2014.
