In March 2022 Mateusz Morawiecki commissioned Bank Gospodarstwa Krajowej to carry out an anti-war run called halt Russia Now. BGK, despite the tender, chose the not-known agency Yes Very Group to implement the campaign. In April 2022 a contract of PLN 22 million 840 1000 was to be signed.
23 million zlotys, intended for the campaign, were to be transferred via the Bank of the National Farm to 3 businessmen associated with the erstwhile government. Among them are Radosław Tadajewski, erstwhile advisor to Mateusz Morawiecki, Mariusz Boyk and Piotr Pałka, who was an associate of president Andrzej Duda's Chancellery. The ultimate Audit Chamber carried out audit of budgetary expenditure at BGK. The unofficial information Onet provided suggests that a crucial part of the resources allocated to the share could have been misused.
The thought seemed right.
The action was developed just after the Russian invasion of Ukraine and aimed at making the people of the European Union aware of how dangerous Russia is and what real events are beyond our east border.
We meet here to initiate a peculiar action that is to awaken conscience. due to the fact that Vladimir Putin has prepared a peculiar operation on war crimes and genocide. What is happening in the streets of Ukrainian cities shakes our conscience, but besides short. besides shortly our partners in Western and confederate Europe would like to return to normality – with these words Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki described the anti-war run at 1 of the conferences.
In addition, he expressed his desire that the run with billboards, besides conducted on social media, would be the voice of those who fell victim to savage murders on the streets of cities and towns.
"Dear European leaders, the sanctions you have imposed on Russia are besides weak. There's nothing peculiar going on out there. Ukraine needs action here and now"

We'll wait until June.
According to the cost estimate, the wage for employees of the agency was only PLN 415 thousand. Most of the run activities were commissioned by a subcontractor, a company of 1450 from the vicinity of Wrocław. In the end, only PLN 2.8 million were spent on buying online media. However, 1 of the companies, the company 1450 paid PLN 5.5 million, although from the invoice to which Onet reached, it does not indicate who the money was transferred to.
The halt Russia Now run attracted the attention of the ultimate Control Chamber. Although the precise results of the checks will be announced in June, it is already known that their conclusions will not be positive.
