Speaking about the initiative Jon Cornwell, CEO at Newsflare, commented: “We at Newsflare value user-generated content and with all the videos surrounding the war in Ukraine being filmed and uploaded by our community of filmers, we understand that we can also play a role in helping thousands survive and escape the conflict.”
He continued:
“UGV is providing invaluable eyewitness perspectives from the war through the lens of many different people and from a myriad of perspectives. It is empowering those impacted by the violence to share their experiences so that the world cannot look away from Russian aggression. We feel incredibly honoured to be able to shine a light on these emotionally powerful human impact stories and encourage our members to donate with a purpose so that together we can help to provide a better life for refugees in Ukraine.”
