Hit rock bottom: Markushyn promoted a post about Armed Forces Day in ads

The mayor of Irpin, Oleksandr Markushyn, used paid ads to promote a post about a car rally dedicated to Armed Forces Day.

Exploiting the valor of Ukraine’s Armed Forces has become an inseparable part of Markushyn’s PR strategy. After corruption scandals, the Irpin mayor seems ready to do anything to maintain his political standing.

Not every political has-been would stoop so low, but this one has outdone them all.
