There are few Westerners who have spent 3 years full time in frontline areas of Ukraine.
Elizabeth Bullock is a speaker and adviser, sharing independent and detailed insights from her extensive experience of Russia's modern war.
OUR STORY
Elizabeth Bullock's previous career was in technology start-ups, which latterly included tools for defence intelligence. With a Second World War family legacy - her grandfather having served in the British Special Forces (SOE) and her Polish grandmother having been forced to leave her homeland - it felt important that she act and respond to Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine. So, ten days after the invasion, she paused her career in technology and drove alone to Ukraine.
She founded and led an independent, quick-response unit, British Expeditionary Aid & Rescue, executing strategic operations to solve critical civic catastrophes. Her intimate experience of the war spans the eastern Donbas (Lysychansk, Bakhmut), the southern front (Kherson, Mykolaiv), the north east (Kharkiv, Izyum) and the north (Kyiv, Bucha).
Her work has had international coverage by BBC News, The New York Times, Le Monde, Sky News, The Washington Post and in the award-winning documentary film Dear Beautiful Beloved. She returned to the UK and PRAMMAVOX Ltd. was founded in early 2025.

SECURITY ADVISER
A former British soldier serving in a special operations branch of the Ukrainian military once expressed his frustration that, although he was deployed in the Donbas, Elizabeth had substantially more experience of frontline areas than he had.
Leading teams up to 1km from the line of contact, Elizabeth acquired a deep knowledge of:
-
Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): for operating safely and efficiently when at risk from FPV drones, Shahed drones, missiles, artillery, mortars, mines, UXO and IEDs;
-
Operational Security: how to use technology and communications correctly and responsibly;
-
Equipment, kit and medical equipment.
