On Sunday week 10 will screen a World Premiere special, Bear Grylls Meets President Zelenskyy in which the survival TV host was invited to Ukraine for 3 days by its embattled but inspiring President.
This observational documentary follows Bear on his perilous three-day excursion deep into Ukraine, an active war zone, to meet the country’s commander-in-chief whose inspirational leadership has united his people. Having gained admiration of millions of people across the world, Bear wants to understand who the man behind the headlines and the public face of the Presidency is, and to learn how Ukraine is surviving this war.
It is a journey like no other for Bear and his team, and with Ukraine under constant threat from missile strikes and extreme cold weather, they must take huge risks to make the dangerous journey to the capital to meet President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
While travelling through the country towards Kyiv, Bear meets the people of Ukraine who are trying to endure and survive this war. Through these meetings, Bear learns what they have been through, what life is like for them now, and hears tales of heroism, survival, tragedy and loss.
Sunday, 19 February at 9.10pm on 10.

Ex British SAS soldier Bear Grylls is well known for being an adrenaline junkie, but politics didn’t really factor into his reality shows, so if Bear was invited to visit Ukraine you have to say that it is another example of how media savvy President Zelenskyy is, keeping himself and Ukraine on the front page.
