For 635 days the American Matthew Sampson fought for Ukraine, and now he persuades US politicians to support it

ШоТам (shotam.info), a Ukrainian explainer outlet, tells Matthew Sampson’s story for a Ukrainian audience: for 635 days the American fought for Ukraine, and now he makes the case for continued support in Washington. A former Marine, he uses his combat experience to explain why Ukraine needs help, and travels to the front to speak with service members and learn what they need.

The reel is a compilation rather than an interview. Its publisher credits the footage to Independence Avenue Media, Voice of America Ukrainian and Matthew Sampson, and states that the audio was created with AI, so the narration is not Sampson’s own voice. The on-screen quote is attributed by the reel to his Independence Avenue Media interview.
