During the initial four weeks of the conflict, our strategic positioning within Ukraine has proven instrumental in effectively managing the evolving crisis landscape. Leveraging our robust network of local assets, we have established a formidable presence in the country and swiftly mobilized resources to address emergent challenges. Key highlights of our efforts during this critical period include:

Establishment of Crisis Management Team: Recognizing the urgent need for coordinated response efforts, we established a dedicated Crisis Management team permanently based in Ukraine. Comprising seasoned Ex Polish and British SF professionals with expertise in security, logistics, and crisis communication, this team serves as the nerve centre for our operations, ensuring swift and decisive action in response to evolving threats.

Deployment of Security Advisors: In collaboration with major television channels worldwide, we deployed security advisors to six prominent TV channels operating in the region. These advisors provided critical guidance and support to media personnel, enabling them to navigate through hazardous environments safely and continued delivering vital news coverage amidst the chaos of conflict.

Evacuation of Civilians: In a humanitarian effort to safeguard civilian lives, together with Ukrainian uniformed services we conducted successful evacuation operations, rescuing over 160 individuals from the active war zone and facilitated their relocation to safety in Poland. By prioritizing the safety and well-being of vulnerable populations, we demonstrated our unwavering commitment to upholding humanitarian principles in the face of adversity.

Extraction of Expatriates: Recognizing the heightened risks faced by expatriates working for international companies in Ukraine, we executed targeted extraction operations to ensure their safe departure from the conflict-affected areas. Through meticulous planning and seamless execution, we facilitated the timely evacuation of expatriate personnel, enabling them to reunite with their families and loved ones in secure locations.

 

Protection of Vulnerable Individuals: In a poignant display of compassion and solidarity, we  undertook the delicate task of extracting babies and surrogates from the conflict zone, prioritizing their safety and welfare amidst the tumult of war. Through thorough coordination with relevant authorities and humanitarian organizations, we ensured the safe evacuation and relocation of these vulnerable individuals to secure facilities where their needs could have been met with care and compassion.

In the face of unprecedented challenges, our efforts during the first four weeks of the war underscore our unwavering commitment to safeguarding lives, preserving stability, and mitigating the impact of conflict on vulnerable populations. Through strategic foresight, operational agility, and unwavering dedication to our mission, we remain steadfast in our resolve to uphold the principles of security, humanity, and resilience in the midst of adversity.
