“The Ministry of Defense recognizes the work of (Dmitry Muravsky). (The) Defense Agency has received a lot of his high quality and artistic design photos that were never considered by the Ministry as documentary or real war photos,” the statement said. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has never considered those photos as real war photos and made no official statement in this regard,” the statement said. On Aug. 15, Muravsky uploaded a series of photos to his Facebook that depicted a number of scenes involving Ukrainian troops framed by explosions in the background. In the album “Fears of War” Muravsky has numerous photos showing Ukrainian troops in, what appears to be, combat.
