He reflects on his experiences as the war began, safety considerations for his family, and his first live stream from Ukraine after the bombing began. Orest explains how he converted his businesses assets, professional network, and marketing skills into a media and PR operation to get information out to the world and cultivate international solidarity to support Ukraine.
