TELL THE TRUTH

Social Media Campaign for the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine across Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube

The Ministry of Justice of Ukraine is a government authority responsible for ensuring citizens’ rights and freedoms, legal policy and justice. During Russia’s full-scale invasion, the Ministry launched a platform for collecting evidence of war crimes.

Sasquatch Digital worked on the project for four months — from June to September 2022.

GOALS AND TASKS

online tasks
offline tasks

The primary goal was to widely distribute information about the Tell the Truth platform among Ukrainians who could provide evidence of Russian war crimes.

Our Objectives

1. Reach as many witnesses of Russian aggression as possible.
2. Increase traffic to the website and messaging bots.
3. Explain how the platform works.
4. Increase engagement with content.
1. Support the Ministry’s educational and legal efforts beyond social media and motivate people to submit evidence.
2. Spread the message about the importance of collecting photo and video evidence, including in temporarily occupied territories.
3. Build trust in the initiative.

TARGET AUDIENCE

Ukrainian citizens aged 18–65 who witnessed or were affected by Russian war crimes, as well as anyone able to provide photo or video evidence.

Special focus was placed on people in regions affected by occupation or shelling.

COMMUNICATION IDEA

Make the safety of submitting information and the importance of documenting crimes clear and accessible — without fear, with clear steps that motivate people to act in the name of justice.

CONTENT

Instagram and Facebook posts explaining how the platform works. Visual adaptations for Twitter, creatives for paid campaigns and visuals for influencer placements.

The media component included four 15-second YouTube pre-rolls explaining the initiative and featuring a strong call to action — to tell the truth about the occupier’s crimes. One of the videos was adapted and voiced over for broadcast on the Ukrainian national TV marathon.

FEEDBACK

Despite the complexity and sensitivity of the topic, the audience actively engaged with the content. Meta algorithm restrictions and technical challenges did not stop the campaign — the team quickly adapted approaches and delivered results.
