Sam Bright, « The communist soldier using charity sites to fund his war », sur BBC News, (consulté le ) : « Westerners have been using online crowdfunding to finance their activities in eastern Ukraine since the conflict started. Among them is 38-year-old Graham Phillips from Nottingham in the UK. Since November 2013, Phillips has been covering the conflict, broadcasting amateur videos from Donbas, often in the midst of tearing bullets and toppling buildings. His daredevil style has drawn the attention of audiences, and he boasts 86,000 subscribers on YouTube. From 2014 to 2015, Phillips was employed by Zvezda - a media channel run by the Russian Ministry of Defence, and he also freelanced for the state-operated TV channel RT... Since May 2014, Phillips has been forbidden from entering Ukraine, on the grounds of "national security". The Ukrainian government even took the unusual step of issuing an open letter to UK authorities, condemning Phillips' actions. »

« British Citizen Exposed as a Tool of Russia's FSB », sur StopFake, (consulté le ) : « Phillips being rewarded for producing Pro-Kremlin propaganda by a branch of Russia’s FSB, much of which has lately been for a media arm of Russia’s military, Zvezda — is clearly significant, especially since Russia’s MoD has publicly announced recently that Russian media are regarded as military assets, and its reporters are ‘weaponized’... Phillips started working for Zvezda (Star) in Ukraine on September 23rd, 2014, filing numerous video reports... Zvezda is a Russian TV network owned by Russia’s Ministry of Defense (MoD) which is registered as part of Russia’s armed forces. Phillips wrote that he made about two-dozen video reports for Zvezda. »
