s1e26: "Every photographer dreams of taking a photo that will stop the war." This is the quote by Maks Levin, a Ukrainian journalist executed by Russian terrorists for documenting their war crimes in Kyiv suburbs earlier this year. Freedom of speech is sacrosanct for Ukrainians. That's why fierce and fearless Ukrainian journalism became the backbone of Ukrainian democracy. Thousands of Ukrainian journalists keep risking their lives every day to ensure the truth about this genocide is documented and amplified. Despite dozens of their colleagues being already killed by Russian terrorists. Despite over 80% of them losing their income partially or fully. Despite the fact that foreign big tech keeps indiscriminately censoring their work and refuses to de-platform lavishly-funded Kremlin propaganda. For this tribute to Ukrainian journalists that keep documenting genocide against all odds, we invited Andrey Boborykin, CEO of Ukraine's largest and oldest independent newspaper Ukrainska Pravda.
