How Caesar fights for Ukraine. A Podcast.

❗There are foreigners fighting for Ukraine in this war — but their numbers are small.
They are not sent by their governments; they come as volunteers, driven by a personal sense of justice and a desire to help.

One of them is a British man with the callsign Caesar.

He serves in Ukraine's International Legion, fighting not only for Ukraine but for the values this struggle represents.

🎤 Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, the chief editor of UkraineWorld, and the president of PEN Ukraine.

UkraineWorld is a multilingual media about Ukraine. We try to make Ukraine better understood around the world.

Our goal is to explain Ukraine, its politics, culture, history, and struggle, to the international audiences. We are doing this work in English, French, Spanish, German and Italian. We give you regular analysis of the major developments in Ukraine, including the Russian invasion of Ukraine. We also tell the stories of people, of their suffering and of their courage.

We travel a lot across Ukraine, including in the frontline areas, to get firsthand knowledge about Ukrainian resistance and Russian crimes. We also combine information work with volunteering as we engage into regular trips to help Ukrainian civilians and defenders.

We produce texts, podcasts, videos, books, and infographics. We also maintain a network of journalists and experts interested in Ukrainian issues, known as UkraineWorld Group.

UkraineWorld is brought to you by Internews Ukraine, one of the most reputable Ukrainian media NGOs.
