Advanced Pre-Deployment Planning, Threat Intelligence, and Safety Briefings for International Media Teams Entering Ukraine’s Unpredictable Operational Environment
Before deploying into Ukraine, media organisations receive an in-depth intelligence pack covering current military activity, airstrike patterns, infrastructure stability, road closures, regional hazards, emergency medical capabilities, and local security dynamics. We combine HUMINT, OSINT, and geo-intelligence to help news crews understand operational challenges and make informed decisions. Pre-deployment support includes mission-specific risk assessments, travel safety guidelines, evacuation planning, and equipment recommendations tailored to each destination, whether the assignment is in Odesa, Chernihiv, the Donbas region, or any city facing elevated threat levels.

Specialised Journey Management and Secure Mobility for Journalists Conducting Fieldwork, Location Shoots, and Interviews Across Ukraine’s Dynamic Landscape
Daily movements for journalists require strict coordination due to changing security conditions, inconsistent infrastructure, and fast-moving military activity. Our secure mobility teams provide secure vehicles, vetted local drivers, protective escorts, and route intelligence updated in real time. Journalists traveling between Kyiv and Dnipro, filming in the Kharkiv region, or accessing industrial sites in Odesa benefit from constant situational awareness and safe, controlled movement. Each journey includes contingency routes, emergency reaction plans, and access to 24/7 operations rooms monitoring developments as they unfold.
Protective Security Teams Providing Armed and Unarmed Close Protection for High-Profile Journalists, War Reporters, and Documentary Filmmakers Operating in Conflict-Affected Regions
High-risk assignments require specialist protection teams with extensive experience in conflict zones. We deploy armed or unarmed close protection officers, depending on risk level, mission sensitivity, and client preference. These teams have backgrounds in military, special operations, private security contracting, and hostile environment deployments, ensuring they can protect personnel in volatile conditions. They accompany journalists during interviews, roadside work, humanitarian site visits, or frontline reporting missions in Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Zaporizhzhia, and other high-threat regions.
Hostile Environment Awareness Training (HEAT) and On-Ground Safety Mentoring for News Crews Entering High-Risk Locations
To enhance safety, our training specialists deliver HEAT, safety briefings, and on-ground mentoring for journalists operating near conflict zones. Training includes IED awareness, cover and concealment techniques, movement under fire, navigation, medical trauma care, vehicle ambush survival, and kidnap avoidance. Whether preparing for assignments in frontline-adjacent districts, reconstruction zones, or disaster-hit areas, journalists gain skills essential for surviving worst-case scenarios while performing their work effectively.
Real-Time Threat Monitoring, Intelligence Feeds, and Early Warning Alerts Tailored to Media Missions in Ukraine
Media teams rely heavily on protective intelligence. Our intelligence cell delivers live updates, route advisories, airstrike warnings, localised threat alerts, frontline shifts, and safety indicators that influence minute-by-minute decisions. Journalists operating in Kharkiv, Sumy, or Mykolaiv receive constant warnings about artillery activity, drone strikes, blockades, civil unrest, or infrastructure disruptions, ensuring maximum situational awareness and safer operational planning.
Emergency Medical Support, Field Trauma Response, and Evacuation Coordination for Journalists Working in High-Threat Ukrainian Regions
Assignments in Ukraine carry inherent medical risks due to blast injuries, shrapnel, structural collapse, road accidents, and limited access to emergency care in certain regions. Our protective teams are trained in tactical combat casualty care, equipped with trauma kits, and linked to medical evacuation partners capable of coordinating rapid extraction. In the event of injury or emergency, immediate stabilisation and controlled evacuation ensure the highest chance of survival.
Specialist Support for Investigative Journalists, Long-Form Documentary Filmmakers, and Media Teams Covering Sensitive or Politically Complex Topics
Investigative reporters often face additional risks involving sensitive subjects, localised tensions, criminal networks, and regional politics. We provide discreet protective surveillance, covert overwatch, and risk profiling to ensure safe interviewing conditions and controlled filming environments. For documentary teams exploring issues such as war crimes, corruption, human rights, reconstruction, or frontline humanitarian crises, tailored security planning ensures both safety and operational success.
Protection for Live Broadcasts, Field Interviews, and High-Visibility Filming Locations in Ukraine’s Urban and Semi-Urban Zones
Live broadcast setups are particularly vulnerable due to their public nature and predictable locations. We establish secure perimeters, vehicle positioning, crowd control, access management, and rapid extraction procedures to protect journalists during high-exposure events. This service is essential in Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkiv, and other cities where crowd dynamics, public gatherings, or ongoing military alerts create complex risk environments.
End-to-End Operational Support for Global Media Networks, Humanitarian Storytellers, and Independent Journalists Working Across Ukraine’s Rebuilding Landscape
From arrival to departure, media professionals receive full operational support, including airport meet-and-greet, accommodation risk assessments, local fixers, route coordination, and protective services tailored to each assignment. Whether your mission involves capturing reconstruction efforts in Dnipro, documenting humanitarian operations in Odesa, or reporting from conflict-affected communities in Kharkiv, our integrated security model ensures reliable, compliant, and safe operations across Ukraine.
