Brett Kimberlin’s Ukrainian Journey
Ukrainian History
In 1996, Brett married a Ukrainian, and eventually, they had two daughters. He has visited Ukraine dozens of times and later took on the role of father to his nephew, Andrii Rachok, who lost his parents. In 2004, Brett supported Ukrainian citizens during the Orange Revolution, which overturned the fraudulent election by Viktor Yanukovych. And again, in 2014, he supported those in Independence Square during the Revolution of Dignity. It was during that time period that he partnered with EuromaidanPR, one of the largest independent news services in Ukraine, and he eventually became its US Director. In 2017, he became the US Director for the National Security of Ukraine Information Analytic Center. .
3 Decades Of Work Supporting Ukraine
Brett Kimberlin has been involved with Ukraine for more than three decades. In the early 1990s, he partnered with Ukrainian businessman Valentin Kariman, who was then an advisor to President Kuchma, to start one of the first international businesses between Ukraine and the United States, Lada International. Over the next several years, the company moved millions of dollars’ worth of products between the countries, including steel from the Ilyich Steel Factory in Mariupol, automobile tires, oil and lubricants, and cars. Brett rode in President Kuchma’s motorcade whenever he visited Washington, DC, and he attended the United Nations summit as part of the President’s delegation, and gifted him a hand-made pool cue during a private meeting.
Musician / Music Producer
Brett is also a musician, composer, music producer, and manager for his daughter’s music career. In that capacity, he has guided her career as she became a popular American-Ukrainian singer, philanthropist, and foundation director with tens of millions of video views, radio plays, rave reviews, and awards, including the United Nations Humanitarian Award and the St. George’s Royal Medal of Honor issued by King Charles III.
Humanitarian Work
Brett has traveled to Ukraine many times during the war to engage in humanitarian work, film music videos, and, in the fall of 2024, film a full-length movie about the death of Andrii, at the age of 21, during the battle for Avdiivka. While filming the movie, Brett spent a week at the frontline, where he provided humanitarian supplies to hospitals, an orphanage, and members of the Armed Forces, and he met civilians and soldiers affected by the war while drones and missiles attacked nearby. The death of Andrii hit the Kimberlin family very hard. On January 2, 2026, their attorneys filed the first-ever federal lawsuit in Washington, DC against Russia, Iran, North Korea, and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard under the State Sponsor of Terrorism and Anti-Terrorism Acts to hold the terrorist killers accountable.
