Washington, D.C.-based lobbying firm BGR Government Affairs has inked a pact with the government of Ukraine to provide strategic PR and government affairs counsel for the embattled Eastern European nation.

BGR has been hired to design and implement “a comprehensive government affairs and business development strategy” meant to strengthen U.S.-Ukrainian relations and increase U.S. business investment in that country, according to Foreign Agents Registration Act documents filed in January.
The work will include media outreach, as well as potential contact with U.S. government officials.
BGR’s contact began in December and runs through the end of December 2017. The year-long campaign carries a $50,000 per month retainer.
BGR Government Affairs is part of BGR Group, the firm founded by former Mississippi governor Haley Barbour, who was also chairman of the Republican National Committee.
