Today, marking one year since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Media Freedom Rapid Response (MFRR) partners reiterate our condemnation of Russia’s war of aggression.
One year on from Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, we spoke to Kateryna Bachynska, a journalist from Kyiv, about her memories from 24 February 2022, its impact on media in Ukraine, and collective memory of the war.
ECPMF has joined a group of writers, journalists, artists, and human rights defenders to express solidarity with Ukraine.
Russlands Regime will die Ukraine nicht nur erobern, sondern kulturell vernichten. Deswegen stehen auch Journalist*innen auf russischen Todeslisten. Trotzdem arbeiten sie weiter. Wir müssen ihren Stimmen Gehör verschaffen, viel mehr als bislang.
Російський режим хоче не тільки захопити Україну, він хоче знищити її культуру. Тому у російських списках смертників стоять також імена журналістів. Попри все вони продовжують працювати. Ми повинні зробити все, щоб їх почули, наполегливіше, ніж будь-коли.
The European Centre for Press and Media Freedom (ECPMF) has officially launched its latest project to support journalists living and working in exile in Germany.
Russia’s regime does not only want to conquer Ukraine, but to destroy it on a cultural level. That is why journalists, too, have been placed on Russian death lists. Despite this they keep on working. We must help them make their voices heard, much more than up until now.
Yannis Kotsifos resigns as Chair of European Centre for Press and Media Freedom.
