The story behind

In the initial days of Russia’s full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, it became evident that Western media were ill-prepared for war reporting and lacked access to Ukrainian experts and witnesses.

PR Army is a frontline strategic communications and advocacy organisation defending truth, justice, and democracy in the face of Russia’s war of aggression. Founded on the first day of the full-scale invasion, we have grown into a global network of communicators, policy experts, researchers, and technologists united by one mission: to expose war crimes, counter illicit information operations, and galvanise international action for Ukraine’s victory.

We partner with journalists, lawmakers, civil society, governments, and the private sector to deliver real-world outcomes – from ICC arrest warrants and media exposés to EU sanctions and corporate accountability. Our campaigns elevate survivor testimonies, expose Russian influence operations, and shape policy, regulation, and legislation across Europe and North America, including in the areas of media, trade, energy, and defence.

PR Army transforms intelligence and documentation into legal, institutional, and public action. From coordinating high-level testimonies and investigative briefings to securing sanctions and policy reforms, we move decision-makers and hold perpetrators accountable. We work across borders and sectors to ensure Ukraine’s truth is heard.
