TRUTH TO THE WORLD | SUPPLIES TO UKRAINE

In the first hours of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, American journalist Joe Lindsley started Ukrainian Freedom News to bring truth to the world and supplies to Ukraine. Lindsley, the escaped protégé of the founder of Fox News, has not left Ukraine since March 2020, when the pandemic began. Now with the UFN team of Americans and Ukrainians they stay until victory, gathering information, sharing news, and bringing supplies. We connect information, people, and resources so we all can be free.
