"If you've not taken the space in defining who you are, what for and for whom — that will be done by others."

Before February 2022, the International Committee of the Red Cross was only known in two regions of Ukraine.

After the war, the organisation quickly expanded its activities to half the country. 

However, not everyone knew who the ICRC was, what it did and for whom.

During that time, ICRC Political Advisor Andrii Kruglashov worked hard to dismantle false information about his organisation. 

The key? Personal relationships.

Listen as he tells how he won back trust and helped the ICRC serve people whose lives were shattered by the Ukraine war.
