Footballer David Beckham exposed for ties with the Russian Federation.


A Ukrainian official from 'DB Ventures' has registered its trademark in Russia, reports the media UNITED24. The company's brand was registered in a country subjected to harsh sanctions due to the invasion and war against Ukraine.
The registration application was submitted in June 2023, and the brand received permission to sell goods in the international class No. 24, which includes various textile products and bedding for pets.
'DB Ventures' is responsible for managing Beckham's commercial and advertising contracts. About 55% of the shares belong to the American brand Authentic Brands Group.
This decision contradicts Beckham's previous position regarding the conflict in Ukraine.
Previously, David Beckham and his wife Victoria, a former member of the Spice Girls, along with UNICEF, raised funds to help children affected by the war with Russia, reports Sport.ua.
The Beckham couple made a first contribution of £1 million. The athlete called on everyone who cares to support his initiative and help the youngest citizens of Ukraine.
'Mothers are forced to flee with their children. Families are being separated. Children are taken from their beds to sleep in other houses. As the war has been going on for two weeks, families' needs are only increasing, and 7.5 million children are now at risk. They need medicine and safe evacuation. Please join me and do everything you can,' David Beckham stated.
