EPM Global’s initial activation was to provide security assistance and crisis management at Medyka, on the Polish-Ukrainian border. After 48 hours we entered Ukrainian territory to expand their security mission and support capabilities, coordinating logistics, delivered aid, enabling communication channels, and executed a series of tailored safety protocols in collaboration with local assets.
Our strategic positioning within Ukraine, in the first four weeks of the conflict, enabled us to provide effective management and security services in the evolving theatre of war. We established a formidable presence in the country, including a trusted network of local assets, allowing us to swiftly mobilize resources to address all emergent challenges.
Key achievements during this time include:
Crisis Management Team Implementation
Recognizing the need for a coordinated response, we established a permanent Crisis Management team in Ukraine, comprising ex-special forces personnel skilled in security, logistics, and crisis communication and crisis management professionals. Together, they deliver pro-active responses to evolving threats on the ground.
Security Advisors Deployment
Our security advisors advise and protect prominent International TV channels operating in Ukraine’s hostile environments, delivering pre-deployment planning, on-the-ground security, close protection, risk management, and first aid cover. Our operations create safe working environments for media teams to deliver breaking news from where it happens, safely and on time.
Civilian Evacuation
We worked with Ukrainian uniformed services to conduct successful evacuation operations in line with our humanitarian principals. We rescued over 160 civilians from the front line and facilitated their relocation to Poland. We are committed to upholding humanitarian principles in challenging theatres of war.
Expatriate Extraction
We fulfilled targeted extractions of expatriates whose places of work had been overwhelmed by the conflict. These operations demand meticulous planning and flawless execution, but their outcome of reuniting families away from the fighting is beyond price.
Vulnerable Individuals Protection
By collaborating with relevant authorities and humanitarian organizations, we were able to evacuate vulnerable individuals, including babies and surrogates, to secure facilities where their needs could be best met.
Our actions in the first four weeks of the war highlight our unwavering commitment to safeguarding lives and mitigating the impact of conflict on vulnerable people.
Through strategic foresight, operational agility, and tireless dedication to our mission, we uphold the principles of security, humanity, and resilience in the face of adversity
Our support of NGOs operating in Ukraine is second to none. Our capabilities include armoured vehicles staffed by highly skilled advisors, and supported by a multi-skilled security framework, tailored to best serve our clients and staff.
We deliver resilient travel risk mitigation strategies and security assistance for corporate executives, insurance entities, and media corporations, affirming our standing as a reliable security provider in the region. We also offer Quick Reaction Force (QRF) deployment capabilities, essential in Ukraine’s evolving theatre of war.
On June 27, 2023, Russia targeted a restaurant in the Kramatorsk, in the Donetsk, with a ballistic missile, killing 13 and injuring 65. Consequentially, EPM Global was commissioned to provide strategic and operational support to an international NGO providing meals for those affected. EPM continues to support the organisation in its humanitarian efforts around the globe.
