Held an online meeting with Douglas Winston Phillips ‒ a film director, documentary filmmaker and lawyer from the United States of America (State of Texas). Mr. Phillips actively covers events in Ukraine, produces documentaries about a full-scale war and runs a YouTube channel called “Ukraine Story”.

The meeting was also attended by the First Deputy Head of the RMA Oksana Vzheshnevska, advisor to the Head of the RMA Viktoria Tarasiuk, Ukrainian TV presenter and journalist, author of the project “Friends” Marysia Tomashevska, and journalist and stage director Vasyl Kyivsky.

During the conversation, expressed gratitude to Douglas Phillips for his support and active work in covering events in Ukraine. It is very important for us that our American partners share the truth about Ukraine with the world. Thank you for your commitment and continuing to tell the stories of Ukrainians to the international community.

In response, Douglas Phillips shared his experience in creating documentary projects, and highlighted the importance of conveying truthful information about Ukraine to a global audience. He mentioned that his son, like himself, is actively working in Ukraine, particularly in the frontline regions, to aid Ukrainian defenders. Additionally, Mr. Phillips spoke about initiatives aimed at countering disinformation in the United States of America and Europe, and stressed the importance of media cooperation to support Ukraine.

During the friendly dialogue, discussed the implementation of joint projects aimed at covering the situation in Ukraine, particularly in the Khmelnytskyi region, under the conditions of war. Ukraine is heroically fighting on all fronts today, while ensuring the educational process even in shelters, organizing community efforts to support the military, and protecting the country’s energy stability. It is crucial to showcase these efforts to the world, because we need comprehensive support now – political, economic, and, most importantly, support for our children. We would greatly appreciate the implementation of various media projects through television, digital platforms and print media to keep the topic of supporting Ukraine in the spotlight of international community’s attention.

At the end of the meeting expressed hope for further fruitful cooperation to ensure that the world continues to learn the truth about Ukraine and its heroic people.

Glory to Ukraine!
