Ukrainian delegates to an international security conference in Warsaw this week complained about a Russian photo exhibition depicting the war in Ukraine from a Russian perspective.
Ukrainian Embassy spokeswoman Yulia Borodiy said Friday that it was "yet another example of the cynical information warfare that Russia is waging against Ukraine."
The photos were taken by Andrei Stein, a Russian who was killed in August while being embedded with the pro-Russian rebels.
They were displayed at Warsaw's Sofitel Victoria hotel, near an area where the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe convened for a two-week conference. The photos went up Tuesday and were removed Thursday, a day earlier than planned, after the Ukrainians complained.

A German member of the European Parliament said on Friday she had been barred from entering Russia when she tried to attend a court hearing there for a Ukrainian woman army officer.
Rebecca Harms, co-chair of the Greens group in the parliament, said she believed she was on a secret Russian blacklist that could contain the names of other politicians who had supported sanctions against Moscow over Ukraine.
Harms flew to Moscow on Thursday intending to observe a Friday hearing in the case of Nadezhda Savchenko, a Ukrainian army officer seized by pro-Russian rebels in June while she was fighting with a pro-Kiev militia in eastern Ukraine.
Harms said that on arrival she was made to wait for four hours before being denied entry, and flew back to Brussels.
"There is an official decision in the Russian government. They see me as an unwanted, non-desired person and I had to sign a document that I don't try to enter Russia. Otherwise, it would be seen as a criminal act," she told a news conference.

These frozen boundaries mean that Ukraine shares its borders with Russian-occupied Crimea, where Russia is bolstering its military, and Transnistria, the breakaway Moldovian state where some 1,500 Russian peacekeepers are stationed.
Re-upping this because it's such a telling graphic. Note that "Russia's regular army started invasion in Ukraine" on August 24.
