Russia has been able to influence international media and various audiences for decades. Through strategic usage of propaganda and manipulative techniques they have nurtured a network of supporters worldwide with a view of further shaping the local agendas discrediting Ukraine.
Neglected Ukrainian Voices
Despite the war keeping Ukraine in the headlines of international media, the perspectives of Ukrainian experts and thought leaders are often overlooked. This leaves room for misleading interpretations and pro-Russian narratives.

When PBS News Hour sent a team from the US to Ukraine, the fighting around the area of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant was at its peak. News Hour not only wanted to report on this for its US audience it wanted to go further by telling the stories of those Ukrainian workers still working at the plant, with the Russian military now in control.
This was a near impossible task. But with the expertise and experience of Liuka and PR Army, News Hour was able to tell that story.
She not only identified a worker who wanted to share their story. She also explained our needs as a TV network broadcast to personnel who were living and working in fear. She was also able to convince a worker who was evacuating with his family, to speak with News Hour, after they had left Zaporizhzhia. News Hour agreed to protect his identity which was arranged by Liuka. Without Liuka's understanding of the needs of TV journalists and her commitment to ensuring the safety of the worker and his family this story would have not been told

A word from journalists
The PR Army have been useful to me on a number of occasions, they have a huge address book and also the trust of the people they are in touch with, which can help a lot with getting interviews. They swiftly respond to requests for contacts and also flag up interesting events or stories from time to time.

A word from journalists
Staffed entirely by volunteers, the Ukrainian PR army provides an essential service to journalists covering the invasion of Ukraine. Their volunteers have helped my newspaper set up interviews, they regularly send compelling story pitches and have a wealth of valuable contacts that we have been able to leverage and enrich our coverage of the most important story in Europe since the end of the Second World War. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to any correspondent based in-country or abroad
