Last November, 30+ journalists founded the Kyiv Independent, the English-language media outlet in Ukraine, when they were fired from the Kyiv Post for defending editorial independence.   

The Kyiv Independent provides round the clock news coverage about all aspects of the war in Ukraine - and is not President Zelensky’s favorite publication but is even more unlikely to be Putin’s nomination for a Pulitzer.   

Daryna Shevchenko, the CEO of the Kyiv Independent discusses with Ian Williams, FPA President of the Foreign Press Association to discuss how Ukrainian media covers the Russian invasion of Ukraine and keeps up the pressure on the authorities in Kyiv. Daryna has been a media manager, trainer, and media consultant before joining the Independent.
