Yorktown Solutions has picked up an $80K per month pact to represent the Civil Movement For a Just Ukraine, a non-profit group set up by activists with close ties to the country’s military.
The Movement says its goals are to promote de-oligarchization, good corporate governance and reforms in the judicial and security sectors.
It was founded by Olekssi Sereduiuk, who leads a union representing soldiers and volunteers at the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Vitali Chorny, a member of the All-Ukrainian Union of ATO Veterans.
Victor Shvetsov, director of the Movement, commanded the Airmobile 79th Department that fought Russian-backed separatists in the eastern Ukraine.
Washington-based Yorktown handles PR, advocacy and perception management duties for the Movement.
It seeks greater engagement of US officials, NGOs, media outlets and business leaders on issues pertaining to Ukraine.
