Keep the Kyiv Independent going

The Kyiv Independent team has worked tirelessly to bring the world trusted, important information about the facts on the ground since the start of war.

Thanks to your support we have been able to survive and pursue this difficult and unpredictable task. Despite challenges ranging from cyberattacks to physical attacks on the country's infrastructure.

As interest in Ukraine's struggles wanes, it is important to find new, more engaging ways to the story of the nation. We are investing into new formats - podcasts, video... - to make sure people continue to learn about what is happening in Ukraine. To keep Ukraine in the headlines.

Note: The Fix together with media across Europe are raising funds a broad group of Ukrainian media - please consider supporting them: www.gofundme.com/manage/keep-ukraines-media-going 

Thank you for helping us keep going amid these dark times.
 
We need to do more than just resist. Ukraine is fighting a battle for the world. It deserves to have its story told - the challenges and victories, the villains and heroes. We want to tell that story.

You helped us launch the Kyiv Independent!

 

For many years, the English-speaking world relied on the Kyiv Post for trustworthy news from Ukraine.

 

But on November 8, the Kyiv Post owner shut down the distinguished 26-year-old newspaper and fired its entire team. The staff considers it retaliation for defending editorial independence.

 

This was the end of the independent Kyiv Post as we know it — but it doesn’t have to be the end of high-quality local reporting from Ukraine. 

 

The team launched a new media outlet, the Kyiv Independent.

 

It is crucial to bring credible news from Ukraine to the world. Especially when Russian forces are working hard to distort the perception of Ukraine abroad.

 

We are asking you to stand up to it together with us. This campaign is run by Jakub Parusinski, the chief financial officer of the Kyiv Independent, who is based in London.

 

We are not backed by a rich owner or an oligarch. We will rely first and foremost on fundraising from our readers and donors, and later on commercial activities.
