About Us

PR Army is an independent, non-profit organization that brings together Ukrainian communication experts. Our mission is to share the truth about Russia’s war against Ukraine and to build a credible image of Ukraine as a democratic and independent European nation.

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 was founded within the first hours of the invasion as a community-driven, self-organized initiative. Leading Ukrainian PR and communications specialists came together to share the truth about the war. It was an immediate response to the invasion, fueled by the determination to amplify Ukrainian voices in Western media.

Since 24 February, 2022, we have operated as a unified team, with each member bringing valuable contacts, connections, stories, and expertise. We have successfully collaborated with Western journalists, opinion leaders, governments, and institutions. At PR Army, we believe that effective communication can inspire global change. Through truthful narratives, we aim to support Ukraine’s victory.
