About Us

PR Army is an independent non-profit organization of Ukrainian communication experts sharing the truth about the Russian war against Ukraine with the global community and building a proven image of Ukraine as a democratic and independent European country.

The story behind

The first days of the full-scale Russian war against Ukraine showed that the Western media were unprepared for the war conditions and didn’t have Ukrainian experts and voices to listen to.

PR Army was created right there, in the first hours of the invasion, as a community-oriented, self-organized initiative. Top Ukrainian PR and communication specialists and leaders of well-known Ukrainian companies united their efforts for one goal — to share the truth about the war. It was an instant response to the full-scale invasion, supported with the drive to voice Ukrainian opinions in the Western media.

All these months since February 24th 2022, we work in a tight team united by the common idea. As a self-organized community, each of the members brought something precious: contacts, connections, stories, expertise. By putting it all together we could effectively work with Western journalists, opinion makers, governments, institutions, and media. At PR Army, we believe that communication leads to global changes. And by conveying truthful narratives about the war, we facilitate the victory of Ukraine.
